The cops were rewarded for standing in knee-deep water to direct traffic during the rains

On Wednesday, as rain poured down in Zirakpur, Punjab, two cops manned traffic while standing knee-deep in water. Now, their exemplary dedication has been recongnised and they have been rewarded by Punjab Police. According to the Punjab Police, two head constables, Gurdhian Singh and Gurdev Singh, have been honoured for their work by the Chief Minister of Punjab, Captain Amarinder Singh, and DGP Punjab Suresh Arora.
It was actor Gul Panag who first praised Head Constable Gurdhian Singh in a widely-shared Twitter post.

Dear @capt_amarinder Sir,
hard working traffic policemen like this gentleman, would be immensely helped by good rain gear and a pat on the back.
