People had a lot to say about Bengaluru traffic police’s ‘strange’ initiative. While some appreciated the effort, other took a hilarious route while replying. Here’s how they reacted:

Bengaluru City additional commissioner (traffic) B R Ravikanthe Gowda said that the idea came to him after he noticed that people put on their helmets or fasten their seat belts after seeing a police from afar, reports The Hindu.
