A traffic police officer deployed at Bengaluru’s Trinity Circle on Saturday won several hearts for deftly making way for an ambulance even as a convoy of the President of India was to pass through a busy junction.
Pranab Mukherjee was in the city to inaugurate the city metro’s Green Line.
The Bengaluru Police later announced a reward for traffic police sub-inspector M L Nijalingappa.
The President’s convoy was heading towards the Raj Bhavan when Nijalingappa is reported to have spotted an ambulance trying to find a way towards a private hospital near HAL.
The sub-inspector quickly passed on directions to do the needful and let the ambulance travel through the traffic-heavy road.
Deputy Commissioner of Police -Traffic East Division, Bengaluru City Abhei Goyal later took to Twitter to praise the officer’s presence of mind.
