Video: Traffic cop wins hearts as he sweeps off pebbles and stones to make road safer for commuters

<p>
A traffic policeman is being hailed as a hero on social media as a video shows him sweeping stones and pebbles off the road to make it safer for motorists, especially two-wheelers which tend to skid over them. These small stones also cause tyre punctures and are often sent flying like projectiles when bigger vehicles run over them.</p>
