Song, dance on COVID-19 at signals

Chennai Traffic Police have tied up with a performing art group to
create awareness about COVID-19 through song, dance and mime at
traffic signals. The awareness program was inaugurated at Ega
Theater junction on Oct. 13.
The waiting time at signals is one minute. At this point, the group
will dance, sing songs or perform a mime to create awareness about
COVID-19. Once the signal turns green, they will go to the other side
where traffic is static,” said N Kannan (Additional Commissioner,
Traffic).
This awareness program will be conducted at different signals on
different days. “Our team will sing songs for COVID-19 awareness, a
few others will dance and some others will perform mime. All this will
be done in one minute,” said G. Dheena, who sings ‘gaana’ songs.

HC slams Corpn for sitting on

building rule violations
The Madras High Court came down heavily on Chennai Corporation
on Oct. 12 for its lackadaisical attitude on complaints of encroachments
and building rule violations and, instead, waiting for court directions
to act upon them. A division bench comprising Justice M.
Sathyanarayanan and Justice R. Hemalatha made the observation
while hearing a plea moved by the South Indian National Association
alleging violation of setback rules and other building norms and
regulations by two builders.
When counsel appearing for the civic body tried to explain that the
petitions failed to name the builders, the bench pointed out that the
representation was sent in February and that the Corporation was yet
to respond. “It’s unfortunate that the Corporation fails to act even in
cases where legal notices are issued and prima facie violations are
found,” the bench said.
Noting that the Corporation had, as usual, failed to respond in the
case on hand as well, the bench said, “The attitude on the part of the
officials to respond every time after court intervention to set things
right will not help.”
Justice Sathyanarayanan also slammed the petitioners for using
the court as a ‘collecting centre’ for gathering details about the
violations on their behalf. The bench further sought to know why the
petitioners had failed to approach the Chennai Metropolitan
Development Agency (CMDA) to find out whether building approval
had been obtained. The bench also pointed out that such details could
be easily obtained from CMDA through the Right to Information Act.
But the petitioners, instead, moved the High Court to obtain such
details. Allowing private notice to those who have reportedly put up
the unauthorised construction, the bench directed the Corporation to
file a status report with supporting documents, and posted the plea
for further hearing to Dec. 3.
Drop in streets reporting COVID-
19 cases
In just 10 days, the number of city streets reporting COVID-19
cases has dropped by more than 200. Also on the decline is the number
of containment zones in the city which has dropped to 32 from last
week’s high of 70. Official data from Chennai Corporation shows that
as on Oct. 5, 756 streets across the civic body’s limits were notified as
those where COVID-19 cases were recorded. As on Oct. 15, the total
number of such streets had decreased to 523.
Of these, 113 are in the northern part of the city, which comprises
zones 1-5. The central region, which comprises zones 6-10 and is the
worst affected part of the city, has 238 streets where COVID-19 cases
have been reported. The remaining 172 streets are in zones 11-15,
which form the southern part of the city.
In terms of containment streets, Tondiarpet in north Chennai has
8, Royapuram 7 and Adyar 6.There are more than 33,000 streets in
the corporation’s limits. Since May, the civic body has been mapping
COVID-19 cases street-wise. A report is generated every evening with
this data in the control room, an official said. “If there is any spike
in the number of cases on a street, additional samples are collected,”
an official said.
Alandur (zone 12) has the highest number of active cases with 10%
of all cases still active.TVK Nagar, Anna Nagar, Teynampet,
Kodambakkam and Adyar zones have more than 1,000 active cases.
However, the city’s total recovery rate stands at 91%. The test
positivity rate has also dropped to 8% after consistently hovering in
the 9%-10% range for the past three weeks.

Pandemic norms being violated,
say T. Nagar residents
In a petition to the Chief Minister’s Cell, T. Nagar Residents’
Welfare Association has said that T. Nagar has been witnessing
huge crowds after the relaxation of lockdown regulations. “On
Sundays, Usman Road and Ranganathan Street witness
unprecedented crowd. Though the government has prescribed
standard operating procedures that shops and commercial
establishments are supposed to follow, and warned that failure
to do so would entail stringent punishments including shutting
down of the shops, many do not follow the guidelines,” the
petition pointed out. Noting that street vendors too were not
taking the guidelines seriously, the association warned that
this could lead to COVID-19 clusters in Usman Road and
Ranganathan Street. “If timely and effective action is not
taken, the whole of T. Nagar will soon become a containment
zone,” V. S. Jayaraman, a member of the association, said.
Though it is dubbed one of the busiest shopping areas in the
city, T. Nagar is still primarily a residential area, the association
noted, adding that the blatant indifference to the rules would
not only affect the shoppers, but also the residents.
“In the overall interest of the public, we request the
authorities to strictly monitor the conditions to curb the spread
of COVID-19. Any slackness on the part of the authorities will
prove fatal,” the association said in the petition.
Chennai Corporation had collected Rs. 2.57 crores as penalty
from public and shopowners for violating pandemic norms till
Oct. 10. Of this, Rs. 21.97 lakhs was collected from Kodambakkam
zone in which T. Nagar falls.
“We have formed teams to monitor the adherence of social
distancing and wearing of masks in public places, including
shopping hubs. We will take necessary action against the
persons violating the norms,” a Corporation official said.

The Advocate General told the first Division Bench of Chief
Justice Amreshwar Pratap Sahi and Justice Senthilkumar
Ramamoorthy that the restrictions on visits to hill stations
alone would continue, since those places were short on medical
infrastructure.
After hearing him, the judges directed the State government
to write to the Centre seeking a clarification as to whether
imposition of such restrictions could continue on visits to hill
stations and then publicise the reply through the media.
According to the A-G, the e-registration would require
travellers to provide only basic details for the purpose of
contact tracing.

HC seeks photos, videos on
Koyambedu market functioning
With several complaints of social distancing norms being violated
in the Koyambedu wholesale market complex, the Madras High
Court on Oct. 16 directed the Chennai Metropolitan Development
Authority (CMDA) to submit photographs and videos on the
functioning of the market along with a status report as to whether
retail customers were still being allowed into the wholesale market.
A division bench comprising Justice M. Sathyanarayanan and
Justice R. Hemalatha issued the direction while refusing to give any
direction on a plea moved by Chennai Koyambedu Market
Naangaam Number Gate Pallavyaparigal Munnetra Sangham,
seeking entry into the Koyambedu market or else evolving a
process under which all the traders were allowed on a rotation basis
instead of restricting permission to just 200 traders.
Observing that there was a dearth of civic sense, discipline and
orderliness, and that none had any sense of responsibility, the
bench noted that the complex being crowded despite being a
wholesale market was because of the ‘benevolent’ attitude of the
shops that had cropped all over the place. Recording the submission
by the CMDA’s counsel that it has been decided to open the market
only in a staggered manner as Koyambedu had become a cluster
due to crowding and lack of social distancing, the bench held that
the response was clear and no fault could be made out from it as
allowing traders would result in a repeat of the cluster formation.
CMDA’s counsel also informed the court that renovation work
was in progress in the complex, making use of this period when
activities in the market are low. It would take some time before the
market is back to full-fledged operation, it added.
Appearing for the petitioner, M. Purushothaman submitted that
if the wholesale traders alone were permitted, there would be no
reason for overcrowding. The complex was crowded only because
of unauthorised retail sellers, he added.

Spectacles given to 11 persons Some omnibus operators
resume service
A section of private omnibus owners resumed operations in
Tamilnadu on Oct. 15. A. Anbalagan (All Omni Bus Operators
Association) said that around 500 buses, which were registered
in Tamilnadu, were operated connecting Chennai Moffusil
Bus Terminus (CMBT) with different parts of the state.
However, TN Bus Owners Association president Afzal said
that no decision had been taken and they were waiting for a
direction from Madras High Court. The association had
approached the court stating that they would not resume
services unless the government exempted them from paying
road tax for the six-month period when buses were not operated
due to COVID-19 lockdown.
Fumigation work was carried out by sanitation workers at
CMBT as buses had remained idle in parking bays for months.
There was not much rush as anticipated and seats were
easily available. Operators said that they expect more bookings
during weekends.
