I received a mail from Akhil Gulati who writes, “After hearing all these incidence of rapes/harassments in Delhi, is police taking some action? Or are they just for the security of VIP's. Take for e.g. Chandigarh, which is very safe and sound. I would like to bring your attention to the dark glasses of cars in which these incidents happens, even the VIP cars with red beacon light shouldn't be spared. I don’t understand one thing, Delhi being the capital, why the word safety is missing in it? Whether it is safety for woman or safety for daily commuters on Delhi roads.
I would request you to forward my mail to the COMMISSIONER OF POLICE to take early action on the tinted glasses of cars.”

I totally agree with you Akhil regarding the issue of using tinted glasses in cars. By only challaning the cars during a drive for tinted glasses won’t solve this problem. I think the local police should take the issue of tinted glasses in cars too. Right from the beat constables level it should happen. The beat constables should check all the cars having tinted glasses in their area. They can forward this list to the traffic police who then can send them challans. Now the beat constables should check these cars after some time again and if they still have tinted glasses, then the owners should be fined heavily. Not only this, the beat constables should also keep a check on the shops which put films on the glasses of the cars. They too should be fined if they are caught putting films on the cars.

Yes, I agree with him that in Chandigarh at least people are afraid of cops and law enforcement is better than Delhi. Although incidents of drunken driving in Chandigarh are visibly high but one cannot compare it with Delhi due to logistical reasons.
