AFP, BANGALORE, IndiaDummy police are the newest recruits to law enforcement in India’s southern city of Bangalore, where authorities have adopted an unusual tactic to fight traffic offenders. “There are 44,000 intersections in the city, but traffic lights are installed in only about 450 intersections. Bangalore, which has been dubbed the Silicon Valley of India, is home to an estimated 13 million people. Many are blamed on drunk-driving, speeding and drivers ignoring traffic signals. Businessman Rohit Kamalkar said that the scheme would not work in a country such as India, where rules are flouted with impunity.
