A woman police constable at Agra's Taj Mahal has captured the internet's attention after she came to the aid of a foreign tourist struggling to manage her saree, earning praise for her thoughtful gesture. The incident unfolded on Tuesday morning at the western gate of the iconic monument, where a group of tourists from Argentina had arrived for a visit. Among them was a woman who had chosen to embrace Indian culture by wearing a traditional saree. However, unfamiliar with the attire, she soon found it difficult to manage and appeared visibly uncomfortable.
Spotting her distress, Guddi Devi, a woman constable with the Taj Security Police's Quick Response Team, immediately stepped forward to help. She adjusted the saree, ensuring the tourist felt comfortable before continuing her visit to the UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Touched by the gesture, the tourist expressed her gratitude with a smile, saying, "Thanks, UP Police," before posing for a photograph with the constable.
