‘More power to you’: Telangana cop wins praise as he shares his food with homeless children

A traffic police officer from Telengana is wining plaudits online after a video of him feeding the homeless went viral on the internet. The picture was initially tweeted out from the official account of Telangana State Police.

According to the Twitter post, the children were asking people for food when Constable Mahesh, who was on patrolling duty, spotted them. Mahesh then offered them food from his own lunchbox. The now-viral video shows the constable giving paper plates to the children and serving food from his tiffinbox.

“Panjagutta Traffic Police Constable Mr Mahesh while performing patrolling duty @Somajiguda noticed two children requesting others for food at the roadside, immediately he took out his lunch box & served food to the hungry children.” The department wrote, sharing the video.
