With the emergence of the internet in the 21st century, everyone resorts to using social media to raise awareness, and share information. Pune Police uses its Twitter account to spread necessary information and awareness about the global COVID-19 pandemic.
The police officials are extremely creative with their approach. Recently, Pune Police tweeted an animated picture of a crowd, and asked the netizens to find one precaution against the virus.
The twitter challenge read, "Tough to spot? Hint - Will be tough for #Corona to put him in a spot too! He's 'masked' himself well after all!"
While the approach was unique, netizens were easily able to identify the boy with a mask in the picture.

However, not everyone guessed it right, few took a different thought process to guess the answer.
Citizens also appreciated Pune Police's creativity to keep the public engaged and informed.
In the month of April, to ingrain the habit of wearing masks, practice social distancing and sanitising hands frequently, Pune Police used a picture of Bollywood Actor, Amir Khan from the film Ghajini.
In the film Ghanjini, Amir Khan suffers from short-time memory loss and he tattoos important dates and events on his body to remember them. Using the same idea, Pune Police, designed the picture in such a way, that now Ghajini was wearing a blue mask along with a tattoo on his torso, which read, "Forget everything but don't forget to wear a mask."
Even on Internation Day Against Drug Abuse, Pune Police managed to share a creative GIF, which raised awareness against Drug Abuse.
Whilst Pune Police has been extremely active on Instagram and Twitter, Mumbai Police has also used unique ways of raising awareness about coronavirus pandemic.
On the #InternationalDayAgainstDrugAbsue, Mumbai Police used a creative to promote social distancing while also encouraging to #SayNoToDrugs.
