The summer heat is on and is frying us with more of it as next comes is May to give a full dose of temperature peaks. While it is a disguise for public traveling in cars and buses with rooftops saving them from heat, the two wheelers are the real sufferers under the sun.
Except the hats and helmets, there was no real cover to save them from sun, until the authorities in Nagpur came up with an innovative idea to cover areas of traffic signals with large tarpaulin sheets enough to keep the two wheelers at signal under its shade.
Few people opine that Nagpur traffic authorities have succeeded in curbing traffic violations with this sun cover, because commuters want to stop at red signals and do not dare to jump the signal line and get fried. Though that was not the real intention of authorities, it is working out in two ways after all. Hope our traffic departments too get inspired and buy some tarpaulin covers meanwhile.
