SHOPIAN: In order to sensitize students about the growing threats of cybercrime and promote safe digital practices, J&K Police in Shopian organized a one-day Cyber Awareness Programme at Allama Iqbal Memorial Institute, Zainapora.

The programme was conducted by the SHO Zainapora and witnessed active participation from students, who were educated about the importance of cyber safety in today’s digital era. The initiative aimed at creating awareness about various cyber threats including online scams, financial frauds, phishing, OTP-related frauds, password security, cyberbullying, social media risks and other forms of cybercrime.

During the session, students were informed about various preventive measures to safeguard their personal information and digital identity. Emphasis was laid on responsible internet usage, safe online transactions and the importance of not sharing confidential details such as OTPs, passwords, bank credentials and other personal information. The students were also encouraged to remain vigilant while using social media and online platforms and to immediately report any suspicious cyber activity or financial fraud to the concerned authorities.

The programme highlighted the proactive role of Police in promoting cyber awareness and ensuring a secure digital environment. Such initiatives play a vital role in strengthening the bond between police and the community, while empowering the younger generation to stay safe and responsible in the digital world.
