However, as the lockdown was announced in between, he could not find any means of transport to return back to his thana. The young man had developed heavy swelling in his legs due to his long walk.However, this did not deter the young constable to miss his duty and he started walking towards Madhya Pradesh. “I got lifts at times by commuters and remaining distance I covered on foot,” Sharma said upon his return to Pachore on Saturday. Mostly Sharma continued his foot march hungry as nothing much was available in the way to eat due to lockdown, a communique from MP police said.
