Whenever the word 'traffic police' comes in our mind we encounter words like 'bribe' and 'corruption', totally neglecting the fact that if the traffic polices had not been there, our traffic system would've gone haywire much earlier! We see them very often standing with only an umbrella, fully devoted to their job, but who cares? Although they work all day standing, not even bothering if it's raining or if it's too much hot, to free vehicles from jams and accidents, yet they are paid a meagre amount of salary with which running life in this world is very hard! Actually, we should take inspiration from them as they invariably stand in the scorching heat, fully devoted towards their job, serving the nation! There are a number of greedy traffic police who harass people by filing unnecessary cases but the number is very few. Why should we blame the whole force only for the fault of some corrupt police?
