When you see such people, especially those who serve the public, take a moment to thank them. We may not know it, but in their own way, they strive to make a difference in peoples lives. Silently," said Tendulkar.
The former India opener also lauded the traffic police in general for their efforts and appealed to the public to obey traffic rules.
"To traffic police across India, thank you for your efforts towards ensuring people's safety. To all of us: Let's respect the traffic rules and not take short-cuts. It is not worth saving yourself some time, at the cost of putting someone else's life at risk," the master blaster signed off.
