Delhi police has had its coronavirus awareness game on point till now; however, its current unique initiative is making people only laugh, quite literally! You ask why? 

Well, in a bid to spread awareness about deadly coronavirus among people, the Delhi Police has installed coronavirus "scarecrows" with a message displayed on them reading -"stay home". Yes, this has happened for real. These scarecrows have been installed at several places, including the Chandni Mahal area, amid the coronavirus lockdown. Delhi Police has been at the forefront in the fight against the deadly coronavirus as they have come up with several awareness campaigns and unique attempts to create awareness among the public about the lockdown norms and restrictions. Interestingly, the scarecrows installed by the Delhi Police in some areas were also seen wearing black sunglasses and a mask.

ANI quoted Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) (Central District), Sanjay Bhatia, "We have put up these scarecrows to make people understand that roaming outside is dangerous. We have installed them in Chandni Mahal area."

The Chandni Mahal Police Station has been reopened after 26 personnel who were lodged there completed their quarantine period.

"In the past, some of our police officers were found COVID-19 positive. After that, the police station here was closed. Nine personnel had tested COVID-19 positive, their 26 contacts were quarantined at station premises. Police Station has been reopened now as they have completed their quarantine," he added.

However, this initiative hasnât gone down too well with people. Hereâs how some of them reacted on Twitter:

Guys, if these scarecrows don't scare you we don't know what will? As one of the users pointed out, we also think "jinko samjhana hai wo kabutaro se kam nahi hai". We understand your urge to go out and fly but please stay home for a few days and stay safe.
