In a significant move to combat the rising tide of cyber-related offenses, the Puducherry Police have enhanced their cybercrime reporting mechanism. Residents of the region can now easily report such offenses by dialing dedicated helplines: 1930 and 9489205246.
This initiative underscores the police department’s commitment to tackling digital crimes, which include phishing, hacking, online fraud, and identity theft. By providing streamlined channels for reporting, the authorities aim to respond more effectively to complaints, reduce response time, and foster a safer digital environment for residents.
The police department has also urged citizens to stay vigilant while navigating the internet, refrain from sharing sensitive personal information, and promptly report any suspicious activities. Plans to introduce further digital literacy programs and public awareness campaigns are underway to empower residents against cybercrime threats.
This step forward reflects Puducherry’s resolve to adapt to the evolving challenges of the digital age and ensure public safety in cyberspace.
