At around 3 am, a truck from the container freight station in Manali, north Chennai, began its journey. It took around three hours to reach the Karur check post on the border with Andhra Pradesh. Unlike in the past, when trucks used to spend three hours at this commercial tax check post, the truck just passed by without stopping.
The scene is same at the Athipally check post on the border with Karnataka. Trucks are happily passing by, to the satisfaction of drivers and relief of other travellers accustomed to be held up in traffic jams.
All this is thanks
