"Not Going To Challan You": Nagpur Police's Tweet To Vikram Lander Wins Hearts

As the Indian Space Research Organisation continues to make efforts to establish link with Chandrayaan 2's 'Vikram' lander, a tweet by Nagpur City Police is winning hearts online. The Vikram lander is now lying on the lunar surface after a hard landing, following a loss of contact minutes before its touchdown on the lunar surface on Saturday. Obstacles on the lunar surface may have been stopping the lander from receiving the signals, Chandrayaan-1 Director Mylswamy Annadurai said on Sunday.

Asking Vikram lander to respond, Nagpur City Police said in a tweet this afternoon that they would not fine it for "breaking the signals!"

"Dear Vikram, Please respond," they wrote, using a folded-hands emoji. "We are not going to challan you for breaking the signals!"

Dear Vikram,
Please respond ????????.
We are not going to challan you for breaking the signals!#VikramLanderFound#ISROSpotsVikram @isro#NagpurPolice

Chandrayaan 2's Vikram lander was 2.1 kms above the moon's surface when it lost the connection with the ground station at ISRO headquarters in Bengaluru. The agency is now making all-out efforts to establish links with it.
