Those were the good old days when we could cross the roads as and when we wanted.
At that time people were educated so thay could read the STOP sign on the traffic police's body and stopped. Now even after showing the hand / light/whistle, they do not stop.

Thanks for such wonderful photographs Matt. In fact we have been looking for such pictorial evidence that will help us recreate the Calcutta of the 40s for a film. Would you have any more pics, or any other leads that we can follow? Any help would be really appreciated!
