G Babji ran through heavy traffic to clear a path for an ambulance.
A traffic constable has won hearts on the Internet for running on a busy road to clear the way for an ambulance. According to The New Indian Express, the cop ran though heavy traffic in Hyderabad to clear a path for an ambulance carrying a critical patient. The ambulance was reportedly travelling from Abids to Koti on Monday when the cop noticed its slow progress and swung into action.
The News Minute identified the traffic police constable as G Babji.
Although the incident occurred on Monday, it only garnered attention after a video of G Babji running ahead of the ambulance emerged on social media Wednesday.
He went above and beyond the call of duty and reportedly ran for two kilometres to ensure the ambulance could go ahead without any hindrance.
The video has gone viral online, earning him much praise and appreciation. Additional Commissioner of Police (Traffic) Anil Kumar tweeted the video and praised Babji while sharing the clip. "Hyderabad Traffic Police officer Babji of Abids Traffic PS clearing the way for an ambulance, Well done! HTP in the service of citizens," he wrote.
