Bedi drives in private car 'incognito', finds serious lapses

Puducherry Lt Governor Kiran Bedi, a former IPS officer known as a stickler for rules, Tuesday drove through the town in a private car "incognito" and found "numerous lapses" in traffic management.

Appalled at the deficiencies in traffic regulation, Bedi, who circulated a message on her findings supported by pictures she clicked, said she issued a verbal warning to police officers after summoning them for a meeting at her office.

Bedi had in October this year conceded that she has "failed" in effectively managing the chaotic traffic in the union territory.

Inaugurating a one-day workshop on traffic management organised by the transport department here on October 30, Bedi had said: "...as the administrator of Puducherry, I have failed in traffic management and I openly admit it now."
