With the increasing use of digital platforms, cybercrime has become a major concern in Punjab. In response, the Punjab police have launched a series of awareness campaigns aimed at educating the public about common cyber threats such as phishing, online fraud, and identity theft. These campaigns have been rolled out through social media, workshops, and collaboration with local educational institutions to reach a broader audience.
Additionally, the police have set up dedicated cybercrime units that assist victims and investigate online offenses. The public awareness efforts have proven effective in reducing the number of cybercrime victims, but experts stress the need for continued vigilance as cybercriminals grow more sophisticated. Punjab’s proactive approach is setting an example for other states to follow.
