Human beings are social animals. It is difficult for us to stay without human communication for a long time. Which is why, even when the country is under a strict lockdown, many have got into trouble for strolling on the streets. To solve this issue, police officials from different states have had to come up with creative ways to urge people to remain indoors and make them hopeful for better times.
For example, yesterday, Kolkata Police created a concert-like atmosphere on the road where officials sang a popular Bengali song, ‘Bela Bose’, while neighbouring people switched on their phone’s torch-lights and swaged it from their balconies, reports India Today.
Officials of Gariahat Police Station in South #Kolkata took upon a unique drive in the Ekdalia Road-Mandevilla Gardens area by singing Anjan Dutt's age-old hit 'Bela Bose', with changed lyrics, and spreading awareness regarding the #COVID19Pandemic

Pune Police, on the other hand, created an anthem inspired by the patriotic song ‘Kandho Se Milte Hai Kandhe’ urging people to remain indoors.
In another video, Maharashtra police constables were spotted singing ‘Zindagi Maut Na Ban Jaye’ – an apt song to encourage people to stay at home during the pandemic!
