Hyderabad: A traffic constable, G Babji, ran for almost 2 km amidst a traffic jam to clear the road for an ambulance.
Babji has been winning all-round applause ever since a video of his act went viral on social media on Wednesday.
According to reports, the incident occurred on Monday during peak hours between Abids GPO Junction and Andhra Bank Koti. However, it came to light on Wednesday after the police posted the video.
In the video, apparently shot by someone in the ambulance, the constable is seen running from GPO Junction towards Koti asking the motorists to make space for the ambulance. He ran beyond jurisdiction of his police station to ensure this.
Babji’s effort was praised by motorists who clapped for him despite being caught in a traffic jam.
The constable said the people’s appreciation gave him immense satisfaction. “I am happy that I could clear the way for the ambulance to pass. I don’t know who the patient was and which hospital he was being taken to,” he said.
