With the growing threat of cybercrime, the Uttar Pradesh Police have taken proactive steps to enhance digital security during the Maha Kumbh Mela. Special focus has been placed on combating online fraud, which has become a major concern as more pilgrims rely on digital platforms for services and donations. The police have partnered with technical institutions to establish dedicated cyber police stations in Prayagraj, equipped with advanced monitoring tools to detect fraudulent activities in real time.
To further safeguard the public, the police have launched awareness campaigns targeting pilgrims, educating them on identifying fake websites, and using only legitimate platforms for bookings and donations. These efforts aim to ensure that digital interactions during the festival remain secure and trustworthy, adding an additional layer of protection for the millions visiting the sacred event.
