CHENNAI: The Greater Chennai police barricaded several interior roads in the city following reports of motorcyclists and autorickshaw drivers using interior roads to stay off police radar during lockdown.
At least 20 barricades were put up in localities like Anna Nagar, Mylapore, Adyar, Villivakkam and Mandaveli on Sunday. “Many motorcyclists, out on the road for trivial reasons, got caught at these points. Nonetheless, the residents are finding new routes,” said a senior police officer.
