Mysuru, Mar 17: Tribal community in Mysore-Kodagu Lok Sabha constituency will face disenchantment after successive governments at the centre and in Karnataka have ignored their demands.

Nearly 50,000 tribal families in the Mysuru-Kodagu segment and the number of tribal voters is reckoned to be around 1.25 lakh who will consolidate themselves in the run-up to the elections to be held on the first of the two phase LS elections in the State on April 18.

Tribal issues related to Forest Rights Act and rehabilitation will come to haunt the BJP and the Congress/Janata Dal (Secular) candidates during their campaigning in parts of Hunsur and Periyapatana in Mysuru district and in Kodagu which is part of the LS seat.

Mangaluru, Dec 20: City Police Commissioner Sudheer Kumar Reddy has issued a high-alert warning to vehicle owners regarding a surge in cyber fraud targeting those looking to pay traffic violation fines. Fraudsters are reportedly exploiting recent government discount schemes on traffic penalties to deceive citizens.

The Scam: How Fraudsters Strike

Criminals are using SMS, WhatsApp, and social media to circulate suspicious links and APK files (Android application packages). They claim these apps allow users to pay e-challans at a discount.

•    Device Hacking: Downloading these unauthorized apps gives hackers full access to the victim's smartphone.

•    Financial Theft: Once the phone is compromised, fraudsters intercept OTPs and personal data to drain bank accounts.

•    Phishing Sites: Fake websites mimicking official portals are also being used to harvest banking credentials.

Already, two residents within Mangaluru city limits have reported significant financial losses after falling victim to these fraudulent apps.
