As the city deals with a Covid-19 surge and strict lockdowns, people are going online to reach out for help and to make their many challenges known. Besides being on the frontlines outdoors, Mumbai cops are also surveilling the internet to clear doubts and difficulties amid the curfews. 

However, they aren’t limiting themselves to plain informational tweets. For a few years now, Mumbai Police has embraced the meme trend to appeal to a larger audience. Clever puns and illustrations have been helping them spread funny yet important messages in the recent weeks of lockdown too.
