Bhopal: Who better than the god of death can remind us about the importance of a healthy life. As the world’s largest vaccination drive got underway in the country, rumours and myths also started floating around the vaccine.

In a quirky campaign, a policeman in Indore dressed up as Yamraj and got vaccinated.

Donning an elaborate black costume with golden thread work, the policeman from Indore was seen sporting a pair of sunglasses and holding a gada, while a health worker is seen administrating the vaccine.

According to news agency ANI, the cop was trying to spread the message that every frontline worker should take COVID-19 vaccine when their turn comes, without any hesitation.

However, this is not the first time the police force in Madhya Pradesh used Yamraj as a medium to raise awareness. In April, 2020, a constable was seen donning a similar costume sitting atop a police vehicle urging people to stay back at home. Using a mic, the cop pretending to be Yamraj, warned people that failing to abide by Covid protocols and getting infected by the virus might ensue a trip with him to ‘yamlok’.

Similar campaigns were launched in Uttarakhand, Andhra Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal, where Lord Yama was seen either chasing lockdown violators, or going around to raise awareness about social distancing and other safety measures.

Yamraj has been a popular theme among police forces around the country. From helmet campaigns to stopping people from crossing railgates — law enforcement agencies have used it for several campaigns, intriguing people and getting thumbs up on social media.
