Mumbai Cop Sprinkles Sand On Slippery Road To Prevent Accidents, Earns Praise From Netizens
"Very few left, 2-3 years back 2 traffic policeman were seen filling pot holes on WEH during monsoons ... hats off to these policemen," commented one user on the post.
A video of a traffic policeman spreading sand on a slippery Mumbai road to avoid accidents has gone viral on social media. Shared on Twitter by Vaibhav Parmar, the post includes a picture of a Mumbai traffic policeman spreading sand on the street right under a flyover after incessant rainfall.
Sand increases friction between the tyres and road and prevents vehicles from skidding.
"Today at Bhandup Pumping signal many bikes were slipping due to rain, 1 traffic officer called fire brigade but didn't wait. He himself covered the road with dust to make sure safety of commuters. Salute to the man," read the post shared by @ParmarVaibhav7 on the microblogging site Twitter.
*Appreciation Post*

"A few great people in Police department has helped me maintain faith in the system. They care about safety of citizens, going beyond their assigned duty. Otherwise, most complaints to traffic dept regarding wrong side driving etc go on deaf ears,' wrote another user.
