Dancing police officer Ranjeet Singh of Indore in Madhya Pradesh, India,
is inspiring his junior colleagues to adopt his moonwalking dancing
routine to manage traffic on the city’s bustling, and often chaotic,
roads. He says it is his duty as well as his passion.
“Instead of walking back I do the moonwalk which sometimes amuses
commuters. That, in a way, encourages people to follow traffic rules,”
he says.

At least three other police traffic police personnel have adopted
Singh’s style. And Singh is even training the juniors into perfecting
their craft.
Sumant Singh Kachhawa, who joined the force recently, said he was
inspired by Singh from his college days.
“I used to observe Ranjeet bhai during my college days and wanted to be like him. I
instantly approached him for some tips as soon as I got my job. It's
real fun to control traffic in that manner and at no point of time I
feel bored,” said the 22-year-old.
Another young follower is Mahendra Singh Tomar.
Deployed at Palasia Sqaure, another busy intersection of the city, Tomar
considers that commuters get inspired in the way he goes about his job.
“One should leave an impact in whatever he or she does and I bring the
same while I am signalling people on roads,” said the officer who has
been working for the past six years in Indore.
Even the higher officers of the force are quite impressed by Ranjeet
Singh’s efforts.
“He is not only an inspiration to constables but for his seniors as
well. His style of controlling traffic attracts everyone. He has been
exceptional in sharing his style with his colleagues,” said Anjana
Tiwari, additional superintendent of police (traffic).
Ranjeet Singh, however, blames the people for the traffic mess in the
city.
“There are commuters who don’t wish to follow any instruction. Our job
is to tell them but in the end it is their choice,” he says.
