In a rare sight, Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma was seen waiting for the green signal at a traffic light near OTS intersection in Jaipur on Thursday. His convoy, which was returning from the airport after a trip to Barmer, did not disrupt the traffic flow as it usually does. The nearby pedestrians and motorists were surprised and impressed by the CM’s gesture of following the traffic rules.
This was not a one-off incident, but a deliberate decision by the CM to stop his convoy at the red light to avoid causing inconvenience to the common people. He had spoken to the Director General of Police Utkal Ranjan Sahu and asked him to issue instructions to the Jaipur Police Commissioner to ensure that his convoy does not stop the traffic in the city.
The CM said that he was aware of the problems faced by the people due to the traffic being stopped for his convoy. He said that he wanted to set an example for others by following the traffic rules and respecting the rights of the citizens. He also appealed to the people to follow the traffic rules and cooperate with the police for smooth traffic management.
The CM’s initiative has been widely appreciated by the public and the media. Many people took to social media to praise the CM for his humility and sensitivity. Some also recalled that the CM had once stopped his convoy and allowed an ambulance to pass ahead of him. They said that the CM’s actions showed his concern for the welfare of the people and his commitment to good governance.
