Watch: Maharashtra traffic cop offers water to thirsty monkey, internet lauds kind act

A heart-warming video of a traffic cop offering water to a thirsty monkey amid the scorching heat has gone viral on the internet. This incident happened in Maharashtra’s Malshej Ghat and the clip was shared by Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer Susanta Nanda on Twitter. On sharing the post, Nanda captioned it saying “Be kind wherever possible. This video of constable Sanjay Ghude is circulating in SM for all the good reasons.” In the 24-second video, a thirsty monkey is seen standing and drinking water from the bottle that is being offered by the traffic police personnel. Dressed in a traffic police uniform, the official is also seen gently bending the bottle and generously offering water to the monkey. As the video proceeds, the monkey is simultaneously looking around as a car passes by while quenching its thirst from the bottle. Watch the video here:
