By Bharathi Yegnanarayanan


Police patrol has been appointed in the Thiruvanmiyur beach to reduce the high risk of drowning. A notice board has been put up on the beach in this area to warn the public on the dangers ofswimming here.However,last weekend this reporter saw many people going out into the sea.Senior citizens who reside in this area feel that instead of notice boards,warning the public througha mike system would be effective. Some others say that life-saving accessories must be kept at manyplaces so that they can be used in times of danger.Local police said that they are always on duty along the shore and keep an eye on young children who get into the water.They said that they are doingtheir best.
