Dussehra festival marks victory over evil. One of the primary highlights of the festival is burning Ravana's life-size effigy. It looks like Mumbai Police utilised this opportunity, and one cannot stop complimenting them for their creativity.
The video starts with a man dressed as Ravana leaving his house and riding a bike in the city to reach a venue. After stopping at a signal, Ravana witnesses a man on a scooter not wearing a helmet but carrying it with him. He also tells the man to wear the helmet, but that person ignores Ravana.
As the video proceeds, the demon king points out that he has ten heads to survive in case of an accident, but humans only have only one. Therefore, the use of helmets as a safety measure is a must.
After being shared online, the video accumulated over 26K likes and 179 comments. Social media users praised the idea and thanked the police department for being innovative with advisory posts. A user wrote, "Very creative..hats off." Another person commented, "Good msg. But people still dnt wear helmets. Rules shud be strict." Take a look.
