A video of a kind gesture by a traffic police constable towards homeless children has been doing the rounds of social media. In the clip, the traffic constable, Sirupangi Mahesh Kumar, can be seen giving two paper plates to two homeless children. He can then be seen taking out his packed lunchbox from his jute bag and serving them a hearty meal of rice, curry and chicken fry. The incident took place on the night of May 17 in Hyderabad. When Mahesh was passing by the Somajiguda area while patrolling the streets, he saw two little children looking through dustbins for food.
Mahesh then walked up to their father, who was also with them, and asked him why he was out with the kids during the lockdown. Their father then told him that the three have been searching for food for a while and even tried to beg in the areas of Ameerpet and Greenlands but remained unsuccessful. Since the children were too hungry, they were trying to scrape food from the dustbins on the roads. Looking at their plight and hunger, Mahesh decided to offer his food to them.
