From the streets of Bijnor, Uttar Pradesh, a video has catapulted to viral fame on social media. It features a woman constable, steadfast at her post, cradling her 11-month-old son. The recording underscores the extra mile law enforcement officers sometimes have to go, especially during the busy Kawad Yatra, where she was assigned at the Harevali intersection in Sherkot area.
Constable Reenu, stationed at Sherkot Police Station, performed her duties with her son Aayansh in her arms. An onlooker captured the moment and shared it online, leading to widespread acclaim for this dedicated police officer.
11-month-old son and the duty of police service
Constable Reenu shared that while her son could be quite fussy earlier, at 11 months old, he's grown more independent, allowing his mother to perform her responsibilities without interruption. On that day, faced with no childcare, she had no choice but to bring her son to work, balancing the dual duties of policing and motherhood.
