Happy Holi! The festival of colours is finally here. It’s a day many were eagerly waiting for, at least the ones who love colours. And it shows as the day is being celebrated across the country with great fervour. In fact, many are also taking to social media to express their enthusiasm surrounding the day or to simply wish others. Among them are different police departments. However, their tweets are not just about wishing people. Some departments are also dishing out cautionary messages for the potential perpetrators.
Two such departments are Pune Police and Mumbai Police. Their posts have captured people’s attention because of their Hindi song twist.

“Happy Holi to all you people,” wrote a Twitter user. “Sending lots of love and warm wishes on Holi to you,” wrote another. “You guys are really creative,” commented a third. “I believe that is what Pune Police do 24 x 7 every day but on the occasion of Holi you are just reminding Pune citizens of your firm resolve to maintain law and order and peace with a touch of humour,” praised a fourth.
