ಇಂತಾ ಪೊಲೀಸರು ನಮ್ಮ ಸಮಾಜಕ್ಕೆ ಆದರ್ಶ, ಇಂತವರಿಗೆ ಸೆಲ್ಯೂಟು ಹೊಡಿಲೇಬೇಕು.🙏 pic.twitter.com/ITwr6jtOwt

A video of a Bengaluru policeman attempting to ease the waterlogging on a road has gone viral, with citizens praising his dedication to the city’s welfare. Using a spade, the policeman can be seen trying to shovel water away from the road into a partially clogged drain.
While citizens lauded the policeman for rising above the call of duty, several others questioned the Bengaluru municipal corporation for failing to carry out the task themselves.
Not a cop's job. Yet he did it. Cops come in all hues and colours...good, bad, ugly.

When they go extra mile let's acknowledge. Doesn't mean that people stop questioning them when they go wrong. Both required. https://t.co/qNulsEu6KW

Was it shown to BBMP? For quick action definitely yes Policers can support at the same time was it informed and intimated #BBMP to arrive and help. @BBMPCOMM #bbmpcomm if we start clearing dumps and make proper water flows, we won't come across such situations
