A video of a cop going above and beyond the call of duty to clean a waterlogged road is winning hearts on social media. On Thursday, Twitter user @AkshayVandure1 posted a video to Twitter that shows a cop trying to drain excess water off a waterlogged road. In the video, the cop is seen using a spade to remove water from the road and move it towards a drain. The video was shot in Karnataka, and many people in the comments section tagged Bengaluru City Police, asking them to reward the cop for his service.

Since being shared online, the video has been viewed over 34,000 times on the microblogging website. It has also collected almost 2,000 'likes'.
IPS officer D Roopa was among the hundreds who praised the cop for going the "extra mile" to clean up the road.
"Not a cop's job. Yet he did it," she wrote.
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

Doing job that is not in there list 👍
Some people also expressed disappointment that a cop was forced to do work that should have been done by civic bodies and tagged the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike
Appreciate the good work, but who'll do BBMP's work?!! @BBMPCOMM @Bengaluru2050

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
