In a heartwarming display of compassion, a traffic police officer in Karachi’s Saddar area came to the rescue of a citizen who collapsed due to extreme heat on Monday afternoon.
As temperatures in the city soared past 42°C, the individual fainted near the busy Empress Market area. Eyewitnesses reported that the on-duty traffic officer immediately rushed to assist, offering water and administering first aid until an ambulance arrived.
A passerby captured the moment on video, showing the officer shading the individual with his cap and fanning them in an attempt to cool them down. The video quickly went viral on social media, drawing widespread praise for the officer’s humanity and quick thinking.
Many citizens and social media users have lauded the officer’s actions, calling it a “true example of public service.” Officials from the Karachi Traffic Police later confirmed the incident and appreciated the officer for going above and beyond the call of duty.
With the heatwave continuing, authorities have urged residents to stay hydrated and avoid prolonged sun exposure during peak hours.
