Former Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar shared a message on Twitter thanking traffic cops for their service to ensure public safety. Referring to a personal tragic incident that happened recently, Sachin thanked a “traffic cop” whose timely intervention helped the battle legend’s close friend. “A few days ago a good friend had a serious accident. By God’s grace she is better now. However, it was a timely help from a traffic cop, which made all the difference. He immediately took her in a car to a hospital and real presence of mind so that her severely damaged spine could move minimally during travel,” he wrote.
The caption of the message read:
“Many thanks to all those who go above and beyond the call of duty.”

Sachin later went to meet the agent in person and thanked him and others for their service and for “going beyond the call of duty”.
“I met him and thanked him for his help. There are several people like this all around us – going above and beyond the call of duty. The world is a beautiful place because of such people. When you see such people, especially those serving the public , take a moment to thank them. We may not know it, but in their own way they strive to make a difference in people’s lives. Quiet,” he added.

Sachin, who was recently named the third ‘most admired athlete’ in the world, behind only Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, took a moment to thank traffic police across the country and urged the public to respect traffic rules .
“To the traffic police across India, thank you for your efforts to ensure the safety of people. To all of us: Let’s respect the traffic rules and don’t take shortcuts. It’s not worth saving yourself some time at the expense of other people’s lives in danger,” he concluded.
