Watch: Foreigner forced to turn traffic cop in Pune, stops two-wheelers from using footpath; video goes viral

NEW DELHI: Another incident on road safety and civic sense has become viral, this time from Pune. A video going viral on the internet shows two men including a foreigner taking it upon themselves to teach Pune commuters a lesson in road sense.The video shows two men standing in the middle of the footpath, diverting the traffic to get on the road. The common scene where the two-wheeler vehicles are often made to climb on the footpath in an attempt to surpass the on-road traffic can often be witnessed on Indian roads. The incident reportedly took place at Pune’s Rakshak Chowk in the Pimple Nilakh area. The men held back the traffic and also asked the bikers to do the right thing.The video was later shared by various users across social media platforms, with the video garnering a range of reactions from netizens, most of whom questioned the civic sense of people, finding it shameful to have a foreign intervention to make people follow road safety rules.An account responding to the video wrote, “When outsiders have to teach us how to use our own roads, it’s a serious question mark on our civic sense. Rules aren’t optional; they reflect basic respect for others.”One user also pointed out how it should have been the traffic police who took actions against the rule-breakers. “A classic reflection of our regard and concern for civic sense. BTW, this should have been a policeman’s work,” wrote the user.An Instagram user also highlighted how, despite the attempts, some bikers dodged the two men as they swept across from the sides, not bothering to worry about the needful. “Phirbhi dekho side se nikaal rahe hai (Still look, they are getting away from the side).”
