We all know how tough it is to look for a needle in a haystack. The vehicle owners in Chennai are now having a tough task of finding their vehicle keys from the dumped keys.

It is known that the Sholavaram police had seized many vehicles in the lockdown period as the owners had violated the rules. The keys of these seized vehicles have been dumped together. Now, the seized vehicles are getting released by the police personnel in a phased manner in Chennai

What took many by surprise was a photograph of a vehicle owner searching his hey from a pile of thousands of keys. More vehicles were seized by the Sholavaram police because Sholavaram in Tiruvallur district is on the border of Greater Chennai police jurisdiction as many went to other districts. Truth is the police personnel have dumped thousands of keys of the seized vehicles in a corner of a police station.

This has resulted in the difficulty for the vehicle owners in finding their suitable keys. It was later mentioned by a traffic SI that the keys of the seized vehicles were kept in a date wise manner in different polyethylene covers to avoid confusion. He concluded that the police department was answerable to the owners and officials.
