The commendable efforts of the Mumbai Police Quick Response Team have not gone unnoticed, with the post attracting an outpouring of positive comments from the public. Users expressed their admiration with comments such as “Hats off to all their efforts,” “Mumbai police rocks” and “This is wonderful. Great work Mumbai police.”

In the comments section, users also conveyed their appreciation using heart and clap emojis, underscoring the collective sentiment of gratitude and respect for the heroic actions of the Quick Response Team.

Meanwhile, despite repeated warnings from the Mumbai Police regarding the prohibition of stopping vehicles midway on Atal Setu, these cautionary messages seem to have been disregarded, with such incidents becoming increasingly prevalent.

Over the weekend, a user shared two videos on X capturing individuals openly flouting the rules on the recently inaugurated bridge. The first video exhibits a substantial queue of vehicles halting along the side of the sea bridge, where occupants are seen taking photographs. The second video depicts two men sitting atop a sedan, further highlighting the blatant disregard for the established regulations.

In response to the post, the Navi Mumbai Police swiftly addressed the issue, assuring the individual that the matter had been escalated to the appropriate authorities. The official tweet conveyed, “Thank you for contacting Navi Mumbai Police, your complaint has been forwarded to the concerned Traffic Branch.”
