I received another feedback from T.C. Hingorani regarding people using tinted glasses in their cars. He says, “Do you know why the problems of overcharging by autos, vehicles plying with tinted glasses, scourge of blue line buses have remained unsolved all these years despite Delhi Police's BEST EFFORTS. Because DP does not want these problems to go away.

“Take the example of tinted glass; this problem would vanish in thin air overnight if the DCP(Traffic) cracks the whip in real sense. The unfortunate part is that the people at the helm of affairs be in Delhi Police or elsewhere in govt; suffer from the habit of solving the problem for the day and not completely uprooting it. What otherwise could explain the Delhi Police not grabbing with both the hands the solution to the problem of tinted glass vehicles offered by you in this column on a platter to them.

“The tragedy is that cops are incapable of thinking out of box, yet it is haughty (or downright stupid) enough to kind of reject your solution and instead mailing a copy of stereotyped public notice which we have grown old to seeing in national dailies year after year without it making even a dent on the problem.”

I don’t know what the cops think about all this, but I one thing I can understand is that the traffic police is prosecuting people using tinted glasses. On a daily my chief reporter mails me a press release, which he gets from Delhi Police, regarding the break up of people challaned during a day. And tinted glasses column is mentioned everytime there. I think even if the cops start prosecuting these vehicles with tinted glasses not conforming to rules on a daily basis and it continues for a good two months or so, it will discourage such people. I just hope that the cops continue this for a longer duration.
