Three traffic cops attached to the Race Course Police Station turned cynosure of motorists in Coimbatore city on Friday by walking the extra mile to level a portion of a crucial road gouged out due to the incessant rain.
Noticing the struggle of motorists to cross a one-foot pit that had formed out of a pothole, they diverted a readymix lorry passing through Avinashi Road and got the required measure of the gravel mix released from the vehicle.
Thereafter, they went about spreading the gravel with a spade and a leveller, all by themselves.
The joy of Sub-Inspector Swathi, and two constables Karthi and Udayakumar, knew no bounds after undertaking the task, and, more so, receiving the appreciation of the travelling public
