Two traffic policemen attached to the K.S. Layout police station on Wednesday night cleared a drain that was clogged after heavy rains, resulting in traffic jam on the busy Sarakki junction.
On noticing the inundation, head constables Sunil and Basavaraj, regulating traffic, called the civic agency for help and alerted Inspector Manjunath R.V.
As there was no immediate response from the civic agencies, the duo began clearing the drain with a lathi and sticks to allow water to flow while stranded commuters recorded the operation on video.
