Illegal hoardings claimed their first victim in Chennai on Thursday. A software engineer riding home after work was knocked off her bike and came under the wheels of a water tanker when a flex banner erected for the marriage of an AIADMK functionary’s son crashed on her near Pallikaranai on Pallavaram-Thoraipakkam Radial Road.
R Subashree, 24, who worked with a software firm at Kanthanchavadi, was on her way home to Nemilichery, Chromepet, after finishing her 6am to 2pm shift, when the banner that had been put up illegally fell on her. In the impact, the woman fell from her bike and the water tanker which was behind her ran over Subashree.
LURKING DANGER: The flex was erected on Pallavaram-Thoraipakkam Road for the marriage of an AIADMK functionary’s son
In few months, she was to go to Canada
Subashree, who was to go to Canada in a few months, was rushed to a nearby private hospital where she died of injuries. Witnesses said that a few men carried her nearly 100 meters before they got an autorickshaw to take her to hospital.
The banner was one of several erected by a former AIADMK councillor Jayagopal for his son’s wedding. Soon after the incident, people tore up the hoardings that lined the stretch — there were not less than 50 banners and hoardings. AIADMK workers were also seen hurriedly taking down some of the banners.
Police first slapped a case of negligent driving on lorry driver Manoj Yadav, 28, of Kilpauk. A second case was later filed against Jayagopal based on the complaint of Amalraj, assistant engineer of division 188 of Chennai corporation. Police have registered the case under the Section 4 of The Tamil Nadu Open Places (Prevention of Disfigurement) Act, 1959.
Meanwhile, the Chennai corporation has also registered a separate case against the AIADMK functionary for installing a illegal banner on the road without permission. They slapped a case under Section 326 of the Chennai City Municipal Corporation Act, 1919. Activist ‘Traffic’ S Ramasamy too has lodged a formal complaint demanding police file cases against AIADMK workers, corporation officials and police personnel for allowing illegal banners on the road.
