Since then, the Indian government    9    (declare) 16 no selfie zones across Mumbai, warning people against taking unnecessary risks. Police have declared “no selfie” in areas considered to be    10     (risk), particularly along the coastline in spots with no railings or fences. Anyone coming into “no selfie” areas, even if they take no photos, will risk a fine of 1,200 rupees ($17.50).
