A police constable in Madhya Pradesh walked for nearly 20 hours without food to join duty. In the middle of the nationwide coronavirus lockdown. Constable Digvijay Sharma took the 450-km journey from his hometown in Uttar Pradesh to Madhya Pradesh. Despite his senior advising him to stay home. "I contacted my chief - Pachor police station inspector - and told him that I want to join duty during these hard times. He informed me against it as there was no transportation facility available," said the junior policeman. The difficult journey may have left him with aching muscles but it has not lessened his responsibility to work. "I started my trip on foot from Etawah on March 25 daylight. Then I trekked for nearly 20 hours during my trip in which I took help from people on motorbikes and reached Rajgarh on Saturday night. I subsequently told my chief about my approach," he told the Press Trust of India.
