WATCH: Traffic cop stops traffic so tortoise could pass
The main purpose of a traffic officer is to ensure the safe, free flow of traffic, in order to prevent road accidents and tragedies. However, this traffic officer had to bend the rules a bit...
A video of a Pakistan traffic officer has gone viral on social media, but not for the reasons you may think.
The Traffic officer is seen in the video directing traffic to allow a tortoise to cross a busy road.

Tortoises are notorious for being very slow animals. The traffic officer in question received a lot of positive feedback from social media users who found his actions befitting of a person tasked with protecting the public... and now wildlife.
Give him a medal and financial reward for his humanity. Appreciate him.. Please
