Dancing Traffic Cop in Raipur Wins Hearts as Video Goes Viral
An interesting video surfaced from Raipur, Chhattisgarh where a traffic cop was seen dancing and managing traffic at an intersection. Mohammed Mohsin Sheikh, the 35-year-old traffic cop says that this innovative way of controlling traffic makes him enjoy his duty to the fullest. He spoke about how he borrowed this idea from a Madhya Pradesh traffic cop whose dancing video had gone viral early this year. Madhya Pradesh traffic cop Ranjit Singh won the hearts of people when he was recorded controlling traffic using his unique dancing style in Indore.
His seniors have also lauded him for trying to take a new approach to the usual job of directing traffic. “DSP (Traffic) observed that cops in Indore-Mumbai control traffic through dance and are appreciated. As an experiment, we are training ten cops here, who are being posted at ten main intersections. We are getting a positive response. It will also help these cops to stay fit,” ASP Raipur said. When asked if people obey such directions, he said that the response from citizens in Raipur has been positive. In the video, he is also seen shaking hands with one of the scooter riders. His video has gone viral over social media garnering more than 12,000 views as of now.
