Mumbai police ropes in Chandler Bing to convey important message, wins praise

The innovative Mumbai Police has once again come up with an interesting way to put across a message to people, reminding them to stay safe and also warned them about penalties for flouting rules. This time, Chandler Bing from the Friends series is their mascot.

They took help of Chandler from the famous sitcom Friends to reach their audience. Mumbai Police shared a clip from the sitcom on their Instagram handle to emphasize that stalking is bad.
In the viral video clip, Chandler is seen chatting with Janice on the phone. He apologizes to Janice in advance for having chased her down the street and then dashes out of the door. The message accompanying the clip says, "Could you be more in the wrong? Do not chase her down the streets."
A Marathi translation was also posted. Mumbai Police was praised by the netizens who loved the humour and the unique approach used to convey an important message.


In the comments section, fans showered their love on Mumbai police for its creative ways of using memes to teach rules. One of them even went on to say that Mumbai Police deserve a raise. Another comment noted that the Insta handle had some great content creators behind these witty and humorous memes.

Mumbai Police never fails to bring in creativity and humour in its awareness campaigns. In an earlier campaign on traffic rules and safety, the city police used popular brands to produce witty one liners on traffic safety.

They creatively incorporated graphics of the famous bike brands while appealing for road safety in messages like “Hero don’t unnecessarily Horn-da,” “Royals On Field, wear your crown.”
