We cant predict. better to take insurance for small shops also

Home appliances shop may face much loss.

As a part of restarting business, they can seek MLA's help and sell remaining cloths as clearance sale

Really sad. They may started with loan. In future also remaining dress they may forced to sell for low price (even those dresses are not damaged) to attract people. People may hesitate to buy from there

Smal shop people may not do insurance for their shop.

Insurance may help them to restart their business

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.
