JAM * India: Trucks' port of call hits people hard

* Chennai - A traffic jam caused by container trucks

-- When Ravikumar left his home in Madhavaram at 8 am on Wednesday to get to Minjur, little did he know that it would turn into a four- hour ordeal of sitting in his car, steaming under a particularly hot December sun... But steam he did, courtesy the snarling traffic jam brought about by the thousands of container trucks trying to enter Chennai Port... In 2014, the customs department issued a notice which said that a trailer bound to the port had to come via the container freight station and would be allowed to enter the port only after proper documentation. But the system could not be adhered to due to the indiscipline of Trailer Owners’ Association... The Chennai Port is planning to do away with the manual processing methodology to track the container system and is coming up with a Radio Frequency Identification based container tracking system. This has already been tested through the container freight station, customs and terminal operators...
