Those who pass by Worli's busy roads — the one from Glaxo towards Podar Hospital and a little beyond — will be intrigued to see posters of a traffic constable dotting the stretch. If you are a pedestrian, or even a motorist, it will be worth your time to stop and read these posters. They are a tribute to traffic constable Vilas Shinde, who recently succumbed to a head injury in a shocking attack in the city.

A little over a week ago, the traffic police chief had deployed cops at various petrol pumps to collect data of all vehicles and motorists in the city. On August 23, at a petrol pump in Khar, an argument ensued between constable Shinde and a teenage biker, who then picked up a wooden staff and hit Shinde on the head and fled the scene.
