Drawing inspiration from Bollywood once again, the Mumbai Police spread awareness about social distancing amid the COVID pandemic using Vicky Kaushal's movie 'Uri: The Surgical Strike' as an example. Taking a spin from one of the most iconic lines from the movie- 'How's the josh,' to which Kaushal's character replies- 'High, sir,' the Mumbai Police took to Twitter asking- 'How's the distance' to which the meme, taken from one of the stills from the movie with masks morphed onto the characters reads- '6 feet sir.' In addition to this Mumbai Police put out an advisory which said, "No matter how close you may be mental, keep the distance physically.'
Here are some of the reactions
