Many said thank you to the police officer by garlanding him with the traditional Assamese gamosa, many requested him for his autograph. One gentleman wanted SP Mishra's autograph on his helmet. Some brought gifts like pens and idols of Gods and Goddess as a gesture of their appreciation of the work that SP Mishra and his team was doing for them.
