Mithun Das, the traffic police constable, who stood amid heavy rain without a raincoat in an uncovered podium directing traffic on Sunday has been felicitated by Deepak Kumar (IPS) Commissioner of Police, Guwahati.

The Assam Police's Twitter handle praised the constable as well. "Dedication is thy name. We salute Constable Mithun Das (Basistha PS) for his exceptional devotion towards duty and showing us how dedication can turn a storm into a sprinkle."
