Besides investigating crimes and inquiring complaints, the city police now have a different task in hand– stop coronavirus from spreading.
Apart from education, the one thing that can help in the upliftment of underprivileged communities, is sports.
Shyam Sundar (14) and Sandeep (10), brothers, living in 20th Street at Tansi Nagar, Velacheri don’t know Greta Thunberg, a young world-renowned environmental activist, in person.
”We do not sit in air-conditioned offices and work. Does anyone think of that?” This is one of the first things pointed out by Raja*, a police constable, talking about his working conditions during summer time.
It seems to move around in Velacheri, a pedestrian needs to face a number of hurdles, including finding a footpath to walk on. The lack of pavements and the existing ones being encroached upon is a perennial issue in the locality.
One of the perennial problems of Velacheri is solid waste management. Even if all the residents take an effort to follow segregation at source, it will not prove beneficial if the waste is left untreated at the dumping yard. This is why a micro-composting centre (MCC) in Velacheri will be beneficial.
Understanding that education is the key to a leading a quality life, a Chennai resident is making a change in the lives of students at a Corporation-run school here.
To serve in the city police department is no easy task. They are on duty for 24 hours on all seven days. In most cases, they do not have time to even address the fact that they are stressed out.
However, things have changed in the past few months, with the police personnel undergoing yoga, conducted by Ananda Marga Pracharaka Samgha at Alcott School, at Besant Nagar.
