Gujarat Police Launches 5,000-Session Cyber Safety Drive Across State
Gujarat Police started a big project called Operation Safe Cyber Space to help people stay safe on the internet.
They held more than 5,000 talks in schools and communities.
The talks taught about bad things like sextortion, deepfakes, and online fraud.
Kids learned how to ask for help if they see something scary online.
The police also gave a phone number, 1930, so people can call for help.
The goal is to stop cyber‑crime and make everyone feel safe using the internet.
Gujarat Police organized over 5,000 cyber‑safety sessions in the first two weeks of its July 1‑28 campaign.
Sessions covered threats such as sextortion, deepfakes, cyberstalking and financial fraud, targeting women, children, parents, teachers and youth.
Police She‑Teams and the Cyber Cell led the program, visiting schools and holding seminars to teach safe internet practices and how to report abuse via helpline 1930.
The campaign emphasized community participation, technology‑based monitoring, outreach to victims and swift legal action to deter cybercrime.
Participants reported gaining practical guidance on recognizing and reporting cyber‑crime, and on removing fear of police among children.
