Noida cops traced 53cr lost to cyber frauds in 17 mths
Noida: Police recovered Rs 53 crore stolen through digital fraud over the past 17 months, according to official data released Saturday. The operation, which began in Jan 2024, has also resulted in the arrest of 553 fraudsters, primarily from Delhi and UP. DCP (cyber) Preeti Yadav said cops have been consistently recovering over Rs 3 crore monthly, working in close coordination with bank officials and other stakeholders. Of the total amount recovered, Rs 25 crore was retrieved through complaints filed on the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal, while Rs 27.9 crore was recovered through formal FIRs. "Time is crucial in cyber fraud cases," emphasized DCP Yadav. "Complaints filed within the first hour have a 50% recovery rate, with most early reporters successfully receiving their money back." The most prevalent cyber scams in the Noida and Greater Noida regions include fake digital arrests, fraudulent investment schemes, KYC update scams, and electricity bill discount frauds. As part of preventive measures, authorities blocked over 10,000 suspicious mobile numbers, many of which were registered using stolen identities. To aid victims of low-value frauds, police launched a unique initiative in collaboration with the District Advocates Association. Under this campaign, 27 advocates will offer legal support to victims who lost less than Rs10,000. Lists of these advocates, along with their contact details, have been posted in all district police stations.

North, East Nagpur Wards At Higher Risk Of Flood Damage
1 2 Nagpur: Civic wards in North and East Nagpur are the city's most flood-prone zones, reveals a newly released Multi-Hazard Risk Vulnerability Assessment (MHRVA) report. The first of its kind study in the city, commissioned by Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) under Maharashtra state relief and rehabilitation department's disaster risk management programme in collaboration with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), has also brought to fore alarming disparities in flood risk exposure across the 38 municipal wards. Released by municipal commissioner Abhijeet Chaudhari, the report presents a granular ward-wise analysis of hazards such as floods and earthquakes, aimed at bolstering Nagpur's preparedness in the face of increasing climate-related risks. The flood vulnerability assessment categorises wards based on average annual loss (AAL) from potential flood events. Strikingly, ward No. 3 in the city's northeastern part emerged as the most vulnerable, with an estimated AAL exceeding Rs10 crore, placing it in the highest risk category (Rs10.1 crore to Rs20.9 crore). Close behind are wards Nos. 2, 4, and 12, each projected to suffer annual losses between Rs8.1 crore and Rs10 crore due to flooding. Wards Nos. 13 and 24 fall into the next-highest bracket, with estimated losses between Rs4.1 crore and Rs8 crore. A group of five wards — 11, 18, 23, 25, and 26 — are assessed to face moderate risks with losses in the Rs2.1 crore to Rs4 crore range. Meanwhile, 21 wards, primarily located in South, Central, and West Nagpur — including ward Nos. 8, 9, 19, 20, and 30 — fall in the lower risk Rs1 crore to Rs2 crore bracket. At the other end of the spectrum, five wards are categorised under 'negligible' loss, signalling minimal financial impact from flooding events. These areas are largely in newer parts of the city that benefit from better drainage systems and planned urban layouts. Experts attribute the heightened vulnerability of northern and eastern wards to aging drainage networks, unchecked encroachments on natural watercourses, and haphazard construction. "The disparity in risk levels underscores urgent need to revamp urban infrastructure in older parts of the city," said a senior NMC official. Real-Time Assessment A standout feature of the MHRVA report is the unveiling of a Digital Risk Atlas — a web-based Geographic Information System (GIS) platform that enables civic authorities, urban planners, and emergency responders to identify high-risk zones and assess vulnerabilities in real time. The platform integrates flood maps, overlays of critical infrastructure, and accessibility data, providing a powerful tool for disaster preparedness and response. "This tool will empower NMC and other stakeholders to take targeted preventive and emergency measures, especially in the most vulnerable wards," said commissioner Chaudhari during the release event. The MHRVA report also evaluates risks to essential urban infrastructure, including hospitals, schools, and transport nodes, and recommends comprehensive measures such as upgrading drainage systems, enforcing flood-resistant building codes, and conducting regular ward-level flood preparedness drills. With climate change driving more frequent and intense weather events, the findings of the MHRVA report reinforce the pressing need for proactive, data-driven urban planning to safeguard both lives and livelihoods in Nagpur. BOX-1 Losses (Crore INR) --- Ward numbers Negligible --- 9, 8, 19, 20 and 30 1 to 2 --- 1, 5, 6, 7, 10, 14, 15, 16, 17, 21, 22, 27, 28, 29, 31, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37 and 38 2.1 to 4 ---11, 18, 23, 25 and 26 4.1 to 8 --- 13 and 24 8.1 to 10 --- 2, 4 and 12 10.1 to 20.9 --- 3

Tired of too many ads? go ad free now During her visit to Pune, Munde met with members of the Shreemant Dagdusheth Halwai Ganpati Temple Trust to involve them in the movement against pollution caused by plastic waste. "We installed a machine near the temple, where citizens can get a cloth bag by inserting a Rs10 coin," she said. Munde said the central govt announced a series of programmes across the country to mark Environment Day, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi directing states to take concrete steps to eliminate single-use plastic entirely. "We are working towards that goal," she said. Later in the day, Munde attended the "Green Pune Summit and Abhinandan 2025", organised by the CII Indian Green Building Council (IGBC), Pune chapter. Addressing developers at the event, she said state govt was framing new rules that enforce environment-friendly measures in construction activities and was also updating sewage treatment regulations. Regarding alleged funds diversion from various departments to the Laadki Bahin scheme, Munde said, "It was launched after careful consideration of all aspects. The diversion claims are mere rumours." About her brother, former minister and NCP leader Dhananjay Munde, attending meditation sessions in Igatpuri, she said, "He made the right decision. It will help bring peace to his mind."
