It’s a month since the city police made a section of the service road at the Marina beach off-limits for motorists during weekends, from 5 a.m. to 9 a.m. All the five entry points to the service lane are supposed to be barricaded. According to V. Balakrishnan, DCP of Mylapore, mounted police personnels on horses prevent motorists from using the service lane. During the last few weekends, this arrangement was successfully executed with only a handful of cars found taking the inner lane. But, due to lack of volunteers to watch over the entry points, the system has not been effective,” he added.
