HEAVE HO: A 100-tonne capacity hydraulic crane hauls a giant hoarding near Gemini on Anna Salai, as part of the drive against unauthorised billboards in Chennai on Sunday morning. Workers operating gas cutters sliced through the support pillars and the crane was deployed to prevent the hoarding from crashing down creating a traffic block.
