Mangaluru, Aug 10: Women constables in Karnataka may soon get to sport new uniforms. In place of khaki saris, they may have to wear shirts and trousers.

Speaking to media persons here today, Deputy Chief Minister and Home Minister G Parameshwara said that Police department is thinking of making women constables wear trousers and shirts instead of saris.

It is because many women constables have expressed difficulty in doing duty by wearing saris, he said.

No final decision has been taken on the issue. High-level officials of the department were discussing the matter.

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.
