Mumbai Police To Start Marking “No Selfie Zones” In The City

There is nothing wrong with taking a selfie. However one needs to know that there is a time and place for such things, and in the past we have seen people injure themselves or others, or in some cases even gotten themselves killed for trying to take the “perfect” selfie. So much so that over in Mumbai, India, police are starting to do something about it.

According to reports, Mumbai police are starting to look into areas in the city where it might be dangerous to take a selfie, and will mark those areas as no selfie zones. According to a senior police officer, “We are in the process of identifying and then marking a few locations in the city where clicking selfies will not be allowed.”

This follows an unfortunate incident in which three young girls fell into the Arabian Sea while taking selfies on a rock that was jutting out towards the sea near Bandra Fort. They lost their balance and fell into the sea, but thankfully a local jumped in after them and managed to save two of them. The third girl remains missing to date.

Like we said, there is a time and place for everything and with youths starting to disregard their safety just to snap a selfie, maybe it’s time that other cities/countries consider implementing no selfie zones as well, but what do you guys think?
