VIDEO: FAST AND FABULOUS; CHENNAI 'BANU PAATI' BECOMES TALK OF THE TOWN

There is a saying, "If you want a change in the society, start from yourself" which can be dedicated to a woman who goes by the name Banu in Chennai. The old woman has volunteered to clear traffic in Taramani near Muthumari Amman Kovil. She could be seen actively engaging in holding the vehicles and then releasing the traffic like a professional traffic constable. In fact, she has become one with her accurate speed and busy lifestyle.

The residents in the locality are all praise for the woman who says that initially, people questioned her motive to clear the traffic. "Why are you standing here? Are you a traffic Police? Should we obey your instructions? " - These were some of the questions Banu Paati had to face from the public when she volunteered to serve the traffic in the month of July this year.

The local people reveal that the area used to be a high traffic prone zone and after Banu Paati's initiative, the number of accidents is reduced to a considerable extent. Banu Paati appreciates Velachery traffic police who encouraged her social interest and provided two sets of traffic uniform- one for morning and another for the evening.

Banu Paati acknowledges the support of the public and her own family for her social interest. She insists all the motorists wear helmets and obey traffic rules only for their safety purposes. She also narrates some of the interesting incidents that motivated her to involve in the social service. Watch the video below to get inspired by Banu Paati's life.
