Kiran Bedi, Crane Bedi: Learn English (US) - Story for Children "BookBox.com"

The 1982 Asia Games are about to start in a few days. Delhi traffic has to flow smoothly. A car is parked, illegally. Oh no... it's the Prime Minister's car. What will Kiran Bedi and her sub-inspector do? Kiran Bedi, Tihar...   Crane Bedi The Governor called for me. I did not quite know what to expect. He called me inside his office, looked at me and asked, “Kiran, do you know why I have called you?” I swung my head from side to side and said I did not. Then he smiled slightly and said, “Kiran, the Asian Games are hardly a year away and the Delhi traffic condition is chaotic. I want you to take over as the Delhi traffic chief.” I did not know how to react. This was a huge responsibility and it turned out to be one of the most rewarding experiences of my career. And of course, it would win me the nickname ‘Crane Bedi’. The 1982 Asian Games that were held in Delhi were a prestigious event for India. I had to draw on every bit of my energy to regulate the traffic. I was out on the roads every morning by 8am, in my white Ambassador, which was fitted with a wireless set and a loudspeaker. I held a microphone in my hand, to give instructions whenever needed, while being driven around the city.
