While the times remain gloomy with increasing cases nad most people being confined to their homes as a precautionary measure against the coronavirus outbreak, Mumbai Police has urged siblings to share both positive and negative experiences in their life.
Netizens laud Mumbai Police
Hundreds of internet users were seen united to applause the Mumbai police for taking this initiative and encouraging humans to connect amid these trying times. One of the Twitter users also noted that the recent post by the police is as “graceful, thoughtful, and important” as most of their posts usually are to spread awareness from misinformation related to COVID-19 to promoting guidelines that are put forth by the government to prevent the spread of novel coronavirus.
Amid the coronavirus outbreak, the misinformation ranging from lockdown extensions to curfews, medicines to other cures have flooded the social media platforms. However, in a bid to raise awareness of the cyber safety guidelines, Mumbai Police resorted to Bart Simpson from The Simpsons. Touting ‘Simpson for cyber safety’, the Mumbai Police shared the image of Bart writing “I will verify facts before sharing WhatsApp forwards” on a blackboard. Encouraging citizens to check the facts before sharing any piece of information among their friends and family, the recent social media post by the authorities is winning the internet especially the Simpson fans.
