Bengaluru: City children thanked the traffic police for their tireless work and celebrated the 14th Traffic Police Day at the Traffic Management Centre at Vasanth Nagar on Monday.

Children showered the policemen with praises, saying that the policemen show tenacity and zeal despite facing numerous challenges every day. Several students presented the policemen with thank you cards and handwritten poems.

CMCA Director Ashish Patel said, “Traffic Police Day is an initiative in building trust and fostering better relationships between the police and children. It is aimed at thanking the traffic police for their tireless services to the community. The future of India lies in the hands of our children and we want to give them experiences that will go a long way in community building and participation.”
