Hyderabad: Owing to the soaring incessant rains, the city police have requested the citizens to ‘work from home’ unless it is an emergency.
“Request all citizens to cooperate with our Hyderabad Police Traffic officers who are wearing raincoats and jungle shoes and discharging their duties in this continuous drizzle and rain,” stated city police commissioner, CV Anand in a tweet.
“Please WFH (work from home)-unless it’s an emergency. ‘Aab sabka taawoon guzarish karta hoon (requesting your cooperation),” added the CP.
