“There are questions we are asking. The first question we are asking is that If you go to the Third mainland bridge, you will see a lot of police deployment. We did that deliberately because of incidences of people jumping into the lagoon and that has really help because if you look at the figures from 2018, we had 80 cases of suicide, 2019 it has dropped down becasue of this measure. This year too, the figure is still low.

“The Uber driver knows that third mainland bridge is not a parking space for anybody, it is not a parking zone, It is not an hospital. If you have a sick customer, it is not an hospital for you to take him to.
