The sad story
Abandoned by children, homeless woman close to traffic department
Talking about the woman Buchamma, B Gopal said she was hit by a vehicle five months ago.
She has nine kids but traffic cops treated her, and she grew close to them.
He added, "Yesterday I saw Buchamma (lying on the roadside). I immediately knew she was hungry. Since she wasn't in a position to even lift a finger, I fed her."
Quote
Police department doesn't lack compassion, says B Gopal
Speaking about his department, B Gopal said, "Almost everyone says that we lack compassion and humanity. But that's untrue. We do serve the people, but people no longer appreciate us. Hopefully, after seeing that picture, at least a few might rethink about their preconceived notions."
