A Guwahati traffic policeman was battling two things at once: chaotic roads and relentless rain. But in the middle of the downpour, a content creator made sure he didn't have to battle the weather unprotected. As relentless rain continued to lash Assam, Lakshman Goswami surprised a traffic police officer on duty with a raincoat and waterproof trousers, ensuring he could continue managing traffic with a little more comfort amid the downpour. Read Full Story Lakshman, who goes by Leki Goswami on Instagram, recently shared a video capturing the heartwarming moment.
The clip shows him approaching a traffic police officer who was standing in the middle of a rain-soaked intersection, directing vehicles despite the incessant rainfall. Carrying a raincoat and a pair of water-resistant trousers, Goswami walked up to the officer and offered them to him. Before handing them over, he reassured the policeman that the raincoat had the word "Police" printed on it so that members of the public would not mistake him for a civilian while he was on duty. The officer accepted the thoughtful gift with visible gratitude and wasted no time putting on the raincoat and trousers.
Moments later, the video shows him returning to his post and resuming traffic management as the rain continued to pour.

Several users applauded the gesture, saying frontline workers such as traffic police spend hours outdoors in harsh weather while ensuring public safety, yet their efforts frequently go unnoticed. Others hoped the video would inspire more people to extend similar acts of kindness to those working in challenging conditions.
The video comes as Assam continues to grapple with a challenging monsoon season. Heavy rainfall has triggered flooding and waterlogging in several districts, disrupting daily life and affecting thousands of residents. According to the Assam State Disaster Management Authority (ASDMA), floodwaters have impacted multiple districts during this year's monsoon, inundating homes, roads and agricultural land. Authorities have also been operating relief camps and distributing aid to affected families as rescue and relief efforts continue in flood-hit areas. Ends
