The police warned that any involvement in anti-social or disruptive activities would invite strict legal consequences. The officers also conducted awareness sessions on cybercrime, urging residents not to click suspicious URL links or share OTPs, and to report such incidents immediately by calling 1930. Emphasising road safety, people were urged to always wear helmets and to prevent minors from riding two-wheelers. Community responsibility in preventing illicit activities like gambling and illegal liquor sales was also emphasised, the SP said.
