“Yes. Gestures like this particularly by uniformed people will convey a strong and positive message among public,” posted an individual. “The gesture is indeed full of humanity but we need barrier free transportation system more than people with gold heart.

We must learn from him and help persons with special needs and old people in all the places, give them priority while in queue,” shared a third. “Great anecdote of a public servant…May his tribe increase,” expressed a fourth. A fifth individual wrote, “The ‘hope of humane’ flame is kept glowing by such humans.”For any query with respect to this article or any other content requirement, please contact Editor at contentservices@htlive.comHT Digital streams Ltd
