Public Service Announcements (PSA’s) are one of the many things that helps people understand the gravity of some serious situations. However, people don’t generally care about a PSA until and unless it really grabs attention or is catchy.
So, with the help of social media and advertainments, government agencies and welfare organizations have been trying to create awareness among the general public with their creative PSAs.
Indian Police departments have been using humour to get their message across and they have done a great job at it.
1. Mumbai Police’s creative and funny posts on road safety are something that REALLY caught all our attention.
