Salute for salute! Photos of UP cops celebrating Independence Day in knee-deep water goes viral

If you are back in office after your long Independence Day weekend, chances are you are busy sharing your August 15 celebration photos.

Standing knee-deep in flood-waters, the cops are seen hoisting the National Flag.
Their smart salute to the Tricolour will fill your heart with immense pride.
After the photos went viral, Uttar Pradesh Director General Sulkhan Singh announced an award for the cops.
“These policemen are constantly helping the people of the area affected by flood,” Bahraich's Superintendent of Police Sunil Saxena was quoted by a local media as saying.
The photos are quite similar to the Independence Day celebration pictures from Assam that were shared on social media yesterday.
