Recently, a traffic cop from Pune City police, Nikhil Krishna Nagawade was appreciated by locals and senior police officers for removing garbage from the road. Just like in Kolkata, Maharashtra has also seen heavy rains this year and the garbage on the road was blocking the water from flowing into the drainage.

The traffic police office saw the water level increasing and that was also slowing down the traffic movement causing jams. The officer came forward found the reason behind this water logging and removed the garbage that was blocking the flow of water to drainage. Once the garbage was removed, the water level decreased and the flow of traffic became smooth as well.
