Know your PSTG: KP safety advice against SMS fraud
Kolkata: Kolkata Police, via a Facebook post, has warned citizens not to fall victim to frauds via SMSes, simply by following the new TRAI regulations. TRAI launched a nationwide suffix-based classification system for SMSes, effective May 6, to help mobile users identify message types and combat spam. Under the new guidelines, all SMS headers will now carry specific suffix letters indicating their purpose: 'P' for promotional content, 'S' for service messages, 'T' for financial transactional alerts, and 'G' for govt-authorised communications. For example, explained cops, a message ending with 'G' will be on, say, weather updates. An 'S' will denote a service-related update like the last day of mobile recharge. A 'T' would include those messages that relate to banking transactions. A message ending with 'P' is likely to be an advertisement.

In such cases, do not click on links and immediately block the sender," said the police. Cops plan to hold awareness camps in this regard across the city, especially for the elderly. "This implementation marks a crucial step toward transparent telecommunication practices and enhanced user experience," said a TRAI official. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trade Bitcoin & Ethereum – No Wallet Needed!

Tembo Defence plans to make 1911 .45 caliber pistol and ammo
Nagpur: Tembo Defence, the company that was allotted 100 acres of land in Amravati by the Maharashtra Industries Development Corporation (MIDC), plans to make '1911 .45 calibre' pistols and ammunition. The plant at Amravati may also make ammunition for semi-automatic handguns. The pistol would be made using Austrian technology. Tembo Defence, which is a subsidiary of Tembo Global, will be one more entrant into this segment. The .45 calibre was brought under the non-prohibited category around eight years ago. Now, private individuals can purchase the weapon after getting an arms licence. This led to other private players starting manufacturing the weapons too, said sources among licensed arms dealers. Responding to TOI queries, company managing director Sanjay Patel said, "We are setting up a dedicated facility at Amravati, which will serve as a hub for precision manufacturing. We are also exploring additional locations across India to scale up our defence capacity. The company has signed a memorandum of understanding to secure Austrian technology for small arms."

The company is eyeing demand from armed forces, paramilitary, state police, and private security agencies. Even as the arms will be tailored to Indian operational needs, the company is also eyeing export markets. Sources said the .45 calibre guns of other manufacturers are available in the licensed arms dealers' outlets. The .45 calibre guns are known for their power and are used by law enforcement agencies abroad.
