Palghar :- All villages to be digital safe. Palghar Police Launch Special Campaign.
Palghar, Maharashtra: In response to the increasing incidents of cybercrime, the Palghar District Police have launched a Cybercrime-Free Village campaign aimed at educating citizens and curbing the rising tide of digital frauds in the region. With a growing number of residents falling victim to financial scams and cybercriminal activities, this initiative is designed to raise awareness and equip the public with the knowledge to protect themselves from online threats.
The campaign, spearheaded by Palghar’s Superintendent of Police, Balasaheb Patil, will involve educating villagers through videos on cybercrime prevention, financial fraud, and other social issues like child marriage and drug abuse. To further strengthen the initiative, the police will train 800 Cyber Commandos and Cyber Warriors to assist in spreading awareness and offering guidance.
The district police officers and staff will visit villages to screen videos addressing cybercrime awareness, preventing economic crimes, and eliminating social malpractices. In addition, the initiative will aim to clear doubts and provide solutions to any questions raised by the public. Projectors from local schools, colleges, social organizations, and industrial establishments will be used to ensure effective direct communication and outreach about cybercrime prevention and safety measures.
