Mumbai Police have been acing their social media game one post at a time. Be it urging their followers to stay indoors and taking necessary precautions during the Coronavirus lockdown, or asking them to curate effective passwords to protect themselves from cybercriminals, the police has done it all with creative and quirky posts on their social media pages.

Just days putting up a post on which kind of meow-meow is acceptable, the Mumbai Police is back with another anti-drug post. The police department took to Twitter to explain why it is a 'high' time to ‘auto-correct' your drug abuse. They posted a graphical video on the micro-blogging platform featuring a fictional online chat in which a user asks another user about his favourite 'heroin' only to get a list of eight different types of 'heroins' as a reply. The first user corrects the spelling to heroines to suggest what he actually meant.

The caption of the post reads, "It's 'high' time you 'auto-correct' your habits because drugs are the wrong ‘type'.'

The video shared on Sunday garnered more than 33,100 views on Twitter with 789 likes and was retweeted 119 times. The users commenting on the video praised the police's creativity and posted anti-drug messages while some users did not know heroin had other variants.

Monsoon and Chai!

Mumbai Police also posted another tweet explaining how monsoons can be a ‘lovely' reason to stay indoors. The police department posted a picture of a cup of tea in an earthen tumbler amid wet weather in the background with its caption that reads, "What a lovely reason to stay indoors."

The enticing picture was shared on Tuesday on their Twitter and Instagram pages that garnered more than 3,600 likes and were retweeted 285 times on the micro-blogging platform. On the photo-sharing platform, the post received 3,261 likes. Users commenting on the post agreed with the police department about how indulging in a cup of tea is a perfect way to enjoy the monsoons indoors, while some shared how the page never fails to impress with their creativity.
