Man wanted to meet girlfriend, Mumbai Police's retort floors netizens

Mumbai police's humorous reply to a Twitter user, who wanted to meet his girlfriend during the ongoing coronavirus-induced restrictions imposed by the Maharashtra government, has won the hearts of netizens. At present, Section 144 of the CrPC that prohibits assembly of five or more people at one place is in force in Mumbai and other parts of Maharashtra to bring down the COVID-19 cases.

What happened?
Man wanted to know which color sticker should he use

The city police has made it mandatory for the vehicles in emergency/essential services to put up color-coded stickers in a bid to limit vehicular movement. Against this backdrop, a Twitter user named Ashwin Vinod tagged the Mumbai police and tweeted, "@MumbaiPolice what sticker should I use in order to go out and meet my girlfriend? I miss her."

Twitter Post
Here is what Mumbai Police told him

We understand it’s essential for you sir but unfortunately it doesn’t fall under our essentials or emergency categories!

Distance makes the heart grow fonder currently, you healthier

P.S. We wish you lifetime together. This is just a phase. #StayHomeStaySafe https://t.co/5221kRAmHp

Praise
Social media users were all praise for the hearty reply

The reply by the police was well received and widely appreciated by the users on the micro-blogging site. "Very thoughtful reply. Each person has their own essentials. Please keep us engaged with witty responses and we are forever grateful for your service! You take care of Mumbai as no one else does! All of you stay safe and healthy!" Twitter user Satyan Israni said.

Another tweet
Another instance where Mumbai Police displayed its mellow side

Meanwhile, another Twitter user Sandeep Chauhan sought the police's permission to meet his friend. "I want to meet my friend this weekend in Kandivali, I am based out of Bhandup..which color tag I should use?? it's been long since we met, I shall be traveling by my car," (sic) he tweeted. Mumbai Police's Twitter handle has more than 50 lakh followers.

Twitter Post
Here is what they told him

A friend, who respects your taking precautions during COVID is a friend indeed. We are sure your friend will agree.

Please stay home, we would not want to get unfriendly with you... https://t.co/D32ON0zfv8
