A photograph of two cops sleeping on the ground after completing their hectic shift during this COVID-19 outbreak is being extensively shared on social media. The photograph was first shared by IPS officer Madhur Verma, the Deputy Inspector General of Police, Arunachal Pradesh.
Applauding the two "Corona warriors" for working during the coronavirus pandemic, the IPS officer tweeted, "Isn't a comfortable bed and an eight-hour sleep such a luxury? Yes, it is... if you are a cop."

However, some also felt that the police is under-provisioned in these trying times.
Nothing to proud of here. It's a matter of shame that police is under provisioned. We must stop celebrating misery.
