This is not the first time Mumbai Police has earned praise on social media for its unique social media posts. The ‘Meme Police’ as it is fondly called by some social media users has always stayed on top of trends while issuing messages about public safety and law and order.
On the occasion of Valentine’s Day this year, the Mumbai Police posted a quirky message regarding wearing a face mask to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. The viral post featured lines from popular Bollywood films such as Maine Pyar Kiya and Umrao Jaan.
The department had also shared multiple images last month amid the rapid spread of the Omicron variant of COVID-19, reminding users about how to wear face masks properly.
