Traffic police official on duty collapses, passes away

A traffic officer attached to the Mylapore Police Station passed away while on duty on Wednesday afternoon.

We learn that he was on duty at the Foreshore Estate end that afternoon when he collapsed and he was rushed to a local hospital and he died on the way.

Local police are under pressure for they work long hours to keep the law and order situation at busy junctions and some have to work long hours.

We saw them grabbing umbrellas to protect them at Luz Circle as the rains came down on Thursday evening.
