After helping the man, the traffic cop took the time to give him ‘salam’ by removing his cap and bowing to receive the man’s hand to his face.
Netizens expressed their pride seeing the traffic policeman’s simple but thoughtful ‘salam’, touched that he treated the senior citizen with respect.
“Anyone can have a high level of education but not many are willing to learn good manners,” a user said.
