Meet 10-Year-Old Aditya Tiwari, The Traffic Soldier Of India

The youth is the future of this country. 10-year-old Aditya Tiwari is fulfilling this statement to the best of his abilities by spreading traffic awareness on the streets of Indore. He sings self-composed songs about traffic rules as part of the campaign. This unique way of spreading awareness has caught the attention of many and has delighted the public.

Talking to ANI, Aditya said, ''I have been managing traffic for the past three years. My sister runs a ‘No Smoking’ campaign; seeing her, I also thought of serving the country, and I came on the road. I spread awareness regarding the traffic rules by singing songs I composed. Indore is regarded as number one in cleanliness, but I want Indore to be number one in following traffic rules. When I grow up, I want to become such a soldier that people get inspired by me.''

How Does Aditya Help With Managing Traffic?

A video shared by ANI on X explains what he does in detail. It shows Aditya wearing a camouflage uniform and singing his self-composed songs at traffic signals to make sure that everyone follows traffic rules and road safety. He works alongside the traffic police officials of the capital of Indore for this purpose, who have supported his endeavours since the beginning. 

The video also showed the young boy handing out cut-out smiley faces to citizens wearing helmets on two-wheelers. ''Aapne helmet pehna hai, traffic niyamon ka palan kara hai. Ye meri taraf se,'' he told them. He also handed out chocolates.

An X user commented, ''Youngsters like Aditya Tiwari are an inspiration, making our country safer and more aware.''

Another said, ''Much needed in present times as few individuals didn't follow traffic rules and other citizens who follow rules have to pay the price for their mistakes.''
