Distributing Water Bottles among the heroes

In the month of April, we decided to go and distribute water bottles to traffic wardens performing their duties along the Murree Road route. As a place where there is congested traffic for the better part of the day it is quite an ordeal trying to maintain order and discipline especially taking into account how tight knitted that area is. An abundance of shops alongside the road which connects the city to different parts of the twin cities makes it an especially difficult area to maintain order. Unruly drivers on bikes and cars constantly fighting each other for space on the congested area makes it a very accident prone area. It is difficult for people to understand where the traffic wardens are coming from. However, as we were handing out water bottles to the traffic police officers what we observed were multiple strong willed individual who despite the lack of facilities were trying their best to perform their duties. The distribution of water bottles, although not the most revolutionary act; it was our way of communicating our gratitude to them for performing their duties to the best of their abilities despite all the odds that are stacked against them. In return, the traffic warden were pleasantly surprised by our gesture as rarely get any recognition for their hard work. While with them, we got a brief glimpse of what these traffic wardens have to face each day. The sweltering heat makes things even worse as they have to battle not only the onslaught of traffic but also battle the heat of the sun. This experience opened our eyes and we gained some valuable insight into the life of police traffic wardens.
