Anjuman students spend their weekend cleaning Murudeshwar beach

May 7, 2012

Bhatkal, May 7: The students of Anjuman Institute of Technology and Management on Sunday had arranged a beach cleaning programme in Murudeshwar.

The sources from the Anjuman said the objective of the programme was to make students realise their social responsibility.

Every day thousands of tourists visited Murudeshwar and threw plastics and bottles on the beaches. This polluted the beach. There was a need to clean the beach. Such programmes in the past had created awareness among the tourists on the need to keep the beach clean, said Nagaratna K, president of Mavalli Gram Panchayat, said.

K. Prakash, social activist, said cleaning was not only responsibility of the panchayat alone. It was also the duty of the local people and the social organisations should join hands with the authorities in accomplishing the task.

Khasim Ansar Saheb, vice-president of Anjuman Educational institution, and Khasim G. Abubakar, its secretary, were present.

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.
