The cops are totally demoralised










A poster of the Bharatiya Janta Party covers the traffic lights at the present Changamal corner, earlier Benbows, Hazratganj, Lucknow. This is the busiest point where five roads meet. These lights are for traffic coming from the Governor's House side on Mahatma Gandhi Marg and so cannot be seen though visible in the photograph. I pointed this out to the policeman controlling the traffic and he just shook his head in agreement. The poster even has former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee's pic. In the top pic one can see the steeple of Christ Church in the distance.
Feb 25: Interestingly, today I found that the banner had been removed. I'll never know whether my interference in the matter put things right or it was just a coincidence.
