An awareness campaign focusing on cybersecurity and narcotics was jointly organized at Lokmanya Tilak Terminus (LTT) in Mumbai on Tuesday by the Railway Protection Force (RPF), Government Railway Police (GRP), and Railway officials.
Key Advisory for Passengers
During the drive, passengers were strongly advised not to accept or consume any food items or beverages offered by unknown individuals during train journeys. They were urged to immediately inform RPF or GRP about any suspicious person or activity noticed within station premises or trains.
Cyber Fraud Education
Passengers were educated about various prevalent cyber frauds, including OTP sharing scams, QR code frauds, UPI-related frauds, KYC update scams, and fake investment schemes circulated through social media and Telegram platforms promising unrealistic financial returns, according to a statement released by the RPF.
Instructions were given not to click on unknown links, not to disclose confidential banking or personal details to anyone, and to verify the authenticity of any company or institution before making any financial investment. Passengers were also encouraged to immediately report any cyber-related incident on Cyber Helpline No. 1930 and contact the nearest police station or RPF chowky for assistance.
Campaign Execution
The campaign was effectively carried out through public announcement systems, direct interaction with passengers, and distribution of awareness pamphlets across the station premises.
This initiative aims to enhance passenger safety and vigilance against emerging cyber threats and narcotics-related risks.
