We've never been to Chennai City in India and we don't know anyone from there. But based on this report, the good citizens of Chennai may be a little irresponsible with their mobile SMS messaging services. Something about spreading too many rumors via SMS. The situation must be that bad the Chennai City police had to step in.

According to the authorities, mobile phones used in spreading rumours through SMS would be deactivated. Meanwhile in the Indian city of Vadodara, police reportedly arrested 138 people last May for allegedly using SMS to spread rumours and instigate violence. If you should find yourself in either of the two cities and you have nothing good to say, remember its best to zip your lips, err, fingers!
