Policemen perform their duties under tough working conditions. They don’t get too many off and their duty hours are not fixed. They sometimes even go out of their way in the line of duty. A traffic policeman in Tamil Nadu caught the attention of netizens with his utmost dedication towards the job.
A video of the cop named Muthuraja, recently surfaced on Twitter which showed him guiding the traffic on a busy road amid heavy downpour. The 13-second clip was posted by Indian Police Service (IPS) officer Dipanshu Kabra. Sharing the video, he lauded the traffic cop and said that “Khakhi” uniform discharge duty in every weather.
According to Indian Express, later, Jayakumar, the Superintendent of Police (SP) Thoothukudi, where Muthuraja was performing his duty, met him and handed him a gift as a token of appreciation.

A user said that they are proud of all hardworking servants, but policemen should be provided “non-hazardous environment” while discharging their duties.
When the COVID-19 lockdown was imposed after the outbreak of the coronavirus, police in various states of the country went beyond the line of their duty and distributed food and essential items to those in need.
After the nationwide lockdown, business activities came to a grinding halt and a huge number of migrants started walking towards their villages. In such a case, some policemen helped those migrants in whichever way they could.
