Quiet, sylvan and risky

Summary:

During weekends, there is an added dimension to the danger on Besant Avenue Road. Given this fact, it is surprising that Besant Avenue Road lacks noticeable police patrolling, which is necessary especially at night. Motorists who are accustomed to taking this road, tend to take it even at night, for the quiet it provides. This road also provides access to the Besant Nagar beach, and during the weekend, many beach-goers can be seen using it. Police presence at least in the form of a booth or patrol vehicle will act as a deterrent to history-sheeters,” says S.
