Brighter side of the stir

The ongoing strike by the transporters might have hit the city very badly, what with no stocks available in petrol bunks and essential commodities becoming pricier.

However, the strike has a brighter side too. Residents of areas abutting the national highways are feeling safer now after the trucks are off the roads.

Mothers are less worried about their school-going children while senior citizens are no more threatened during their morning walks by loaded vehicles speeding brazenly on the wrong side of the road. Besides, people are now spared from the gory sight of flattened lumps of flesh and bones that had once been sprightly street dogs or some times, destitute humans.
