Humour and display of humanity while policing on the road in Sidhi, a small semi-rural town near Singrauli in Madhya Pradesh has fetched Bhagwat Prasad Pandey the much needed results plus a lot of personal branding and reputation management ever since April 2020.
He is seen patrolling the roads of Sidhi and the surrounding villages driving his official Mahindra Bolero from early morning to late evening (and at times stretching to the wee hours of the morning) without displaying any fatigue and/ or irritation. The officer performs on self motivation. He doesn't work on the hypocritic inspiration of his political bosses.
The daunting challenge before him is to:
- make the poor semi-educated and illiterate population aware of the dangers of highly contagious Coronavirus.
- keep the largely rural population confined to their homes without the use of brutal force that police forces across the nation are known for.
- make people aware of the need to wear masks or wrap up the face.
- make arrangements for free food and essential supplies for the needy during the nationwide lockdown w.e.f March 25, 2020.
- ensure healthcare and quarantine facilities for anyone who needs it.
- Etc, etc, etc.
Live videos of Bhagwat Prasad Pandey on Facebook and YouTube and his style of policing (read, management) has become extremely popular with the Hindi speaking populace in MP, UP, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan, Haryana, NCR and elsewhere in India.
People in the small town have been following his instructions out of love and respect. Residents of the town and adjoining villages have come forward to lend a helping hand to supplement his efforts.
Bhagwat Prasad Pandey is our Indian Roadie of the difficult times.
With responsible and self motivated 'coronawarriors' like Bhagwat Prasad Pandey in the forefront, 'INDIA JITEGA, CORONA HAREGA'.
Bharat Mata Ki Jai 🙏
Fellow Indian Roadie fans and members, please join me in writing a few words to keep the adrenaline in the young officer running high.
