Dancing cop becomes a rock star like figure among riders in Indore

Indore, Jan 24 (ANI): Moving his feet and hands in sync with the fast moving lights on a busy intersection, a traffic cop in Madhya Pradesh has virtually become a traffic stopper. Unlike his colleagues, Ranjit Singh is a rock star for his fans who are thrilled with his dancing skills with which he controls the maddening crowd and unruly drivers. Singh is constantly on the move at the busiest cross-section at Mahatma Gandhi Road in Indore as he moonwalks from one corner to another to ensure smooth ply of traffic. Synchronising his moves with the timings of traffic signals is what sets Singh apart from other traffic policemen. Singh's moves have started paying off. He said there is a visible improvement in the traffic sense of the locals. He has become a role-model for drivers and pedestrians alike. Singh has been felicitated by authorities for his unique style of disciplining the roads and the chaotic traffic, having received a total of 46 awards so far. Jan 24, 2015
