Tender coconut prices go up in Bengaluru
BENGALURU: This summer, the price of Bengalurus all-time favourite natural drinktender coconutis going north. As of Sunday, a good-quality tender coconut sold by roadside vendors costs over Rs 70, and on online delivery platforms, the starting price is over Rs 80. Those who opt to go for cheaper tender coconutsthose priced between Rs 25 and 40complain that there is not even a mouthful of water in them, as most of them are matured ones, and the white flesh is as good as mature coconut meat. Just a few weeks back, the price of a tender coconut was around Rs 35-40. Now the rates have witnessed a 50% jump. Also, the quantity of water is less, said Purushotham Shiva, a resident of Chamrajpet. While Shiva said he opted for sharbat to beat the heat as a glass of it costs only Rs 30, others said they prefer buttermilk and fresh juices and cut fruits. When TNIE spoke to some of the tender coconut vendors, they said it is usual for the prices to go up during summer months and then come down during the monsoon. But they said that this year, though there is huge demand for them in Bengaluru, there is a short supply of tender coconuts. A majority of tender coconuts we get in Bengaluru are from Maddur, Malavalli, Ramanagara, Mandya, Hassan, and Tumakuru. The nuts also come from some parts of Tamil Nadu too. But they are short in supply in Bengaluru, said a wholesale trader at Chamrajpet, who supplies to many retailers. He said that the lesser yield is one of the reasons for the price jump and also attributed the short supply in Bengaluru to the nuts also being supplied to parts of North India where there is a huge demand. Another vendor said that he jumped to the watermelon business as his customers now prefer fruits over tender coconuts.

694-km fire line created in Erode to prevent forest fires: DFO KV Appala Naidu
ERODE: Fire lines have been created for a distance of 694 km this year in the district to prevent forest fires, including the Sathyamangalam Tiger Reserve (STR), said KV Appala Naidu, the district forest officer of Erode, on Saturday. Speaking to TNIE , Naidu said, Forest fires are a devastating ecological concern. They usually occur during summer. Forest fires could be natural but most are caused by human activities. Forest and soil resources as well as habitats of wild animals are largely destroyed. Due to this, wild animals leave forests and enter human settlements in search of food and water, resulting in human-wildlife conflicts. In Erode, the forest department is undertaking various initiatives to prevent forest fires. For example, in 2024 - 2025, fire-lines have been created including three forest divisions of Erode, Sathyamangalam and Hassanur at Rs 93.81 lakh, the DFO added. He further said, The forest department is also raising awareness about preventing forest fires. We are also using newer technologies to detect forest fires. Fire watch-towers have also been set up at various locations and field workers are being given appropriate training. A forest fire control room has been set up and is functioning to monitor and take action on forest fires in the district. It aims to take prompt action on complaints filed by the public regarding forest fires, forest crimes, crop damage, human-wildlife conflicts, wildlife deaths and rescues. As summer approaches, public can report information regarding forest fires by calling the toll-free number 1800-425-1107, the DFO added.

HASSAN: A pet sacrificed its life to protect the children of its master from a cobra in Kattaya village in Hassan district on Wednesday. The cobra entered Shamanths house and started slithering towards an open space where small children of the house were playing. Shamanth said that his pets, including a pitbull, engaged in an intense fight of over 15 minutes with the cobra after it entered the house. The 12-foot-long cobra bit the pitbull several times when the dog didnt allow it to move towards the children. Shamanth, who was alerted by the intense barking of his dogs, rushed to the spot only to find the dog and snake fighting. He tried to stop the dog, Bheema, from continuing with the fight, but could not. Ten minutes after the fight, the pitbull collapsed and died. The other pet, a bulldog, which also fought the cobra, is healthy. The dogs had ripped apart the cobra into three pieces. One of the residents recorded the incident and the video went viral on social media sites. Shamanth said Bheema was a pedigreed dog that had won several prizes in dog shows across the state.

Newborn found dead in drain in Karnataka's Hassan
HASSAN: In a shocking incident, a newborn was found dead in a drain at Kuvempunagar Extension, one of the prominent residential areas in Hassan city, on Monday. It is not known who abandoned the baby. The umbilical cord of the newborn was not cut. The police said that they dont have any clues about the incident as all government and private nursing homes and clinics are away from the spot where the baby was found. The colour of the palms, feet and face of the infant had turned dark and it also had scratches on its face and chest. The police said they are examining CCTV footage. The residents living on either side of the drain said that a woman had given birth to baby girl out of wedlock and threw the newborn. The police suspect that the culprit could be from the families that have migrated from neighbouring states. The police have shifted the body to the mortuary at Hassan Institute of Medical Sciences. It may be recalled that a baby girl was found abandoned in a drain in front at Hemavathi Nagar, a residential area, a year ago. The police are yet to trace the culprit in the case.
Koppal horror and Karnatakas race to make tourism safe
BENGALURU: Just as the state was grappling with the shocking incident of alleged gang-rape on two women, including an Israeli tourist, and the physical assault on three men, including one from Odisha, who was found dead in a Tungabhadra canal in Koppal, 45 km from Hampi, another incident of molestation of an Israeli woman tourist came to light. These incidents have raised concerns about safety for domestic and international tourists. They have triggered a debate among stakeholders on multiple issues over timings, like up to what time tourist destinations can remain open; whether night life should be encouraged; where and how much security should be provided; and making public a list of safe tourist destinations. Yet, despite this, Karnataka continues to carry the image of being a hospitable, warm and welcoming destination for meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions (MICE), health, religious, environment and adventure tourism. But government officials and experts say a lot more needs to be done. Soon after the Koppal horror, Karnataka state home department issued guidelines for homestay/hotel/resort owners to follow. It made it mandatory for them to obtain police and forest department permission before taking tourists to wooded or deserted locations. The government also reiterated the mandate issued by the Bureau of Immigration for all property owners to fill Form-C, informing the travel details of foreign tourists within 24 hours of their arrival. Three held in Hampi tourist molestation case Experts working closely with the tourism department say these are knee-jerk reactions. There are sufficient rules that just need to be followed to the tee. There is a fine line between policing and ensuring safety to all. The police, district administration and property owners should work together. A log book of all hotels/homestays/resorts should be maintained, and it must be checked every fortnight. Details of property owners should also be checked by the police. The announcement of the government putting the onus on the property owners is not new, it has always been there, the expert said. A senior tourism department official admitted to the lapses. After illegal activities in homestays and hotels, particularly in Kodagu and Chikkamagaluru came to light, the state government decided to prepare an inventory of all properties and crackdown on illegal ones. That exercise is yet to be completed. But members of Coorg Homestay Association (CHA) have started to become vigilant. CHA president Monthi Ganesh says although Coorg has a large number of homestays in the district, only few follow the rules. There is a clear definition of a homestay a property that has not more than five-six rooms and the owner stays there. We surveyed and prepared a list of such homestays. We regularly check them and update the list. Visitors visiting Coorg should check the list, she says, adding that a similar exercise should be done everywhere. Sundar Singaram, Director Operations, South India Hotels and Restaurants Association, says property and guides normally advise tourists on safety and timings. While most tourists follow, some dont. Like recently in Munnar, despite warnings, a German national ventured out on to a jungle road with a two-wheeler and was attacked by a tusker. Police and security measures are available only at select monuments. At remaining locations, it is wisdom and experience of local property owners that is crucial, he says. Koppal rape incident impact Holi celebrations, tourist arrivals in Hampi Singaram adds the Koppal incident has not impacted tourism as yet. This is because of the image the southern states carry overall. International and domestic tourists find the hospitality offered by the southern states warmer and comfortable when compared to other places. Hampi is the face of Karnatakas tourism and a major draw for domestic and foreign tourists. The incident has taken place near the states star location. It is a setback for the image of the tourism industry, especially after Karnataka hosted the Karnataka International Travel Expo- 2025 from February 25 to 28, showcasing the states tourism potential to attract investment, says a senior state tourism department official. Hampi has been declared as a World Heritage Site by the United Nations, Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO). It is located on the banks of Tungabhadra River, showcasing the Vijayanagara dynasty. Recently the government released the state tourism policy 2024-29, which included a chapter on tourist safety and comfort. According to experts, there is nothing concrete in the chapter assuring tourist safety, especially CCTV cameras. As, globally, special measures and policies have been drawn to encourage solo travellers, especially women which has now become a trend Karnataka is yet to catch up. The policy lists works to be undertaken by tourist guides, role of tourist mitras (TMs-similar to tourism police force comprises of guides and home guards stationed at tourist sites), provision of facilities that are women- centric and for specially-abled, creation of an online grievance redressal system and launching of tourist helpline; but these are basic, a lot more needs to be done, and they need to take opinions of tourists to improve, says an official from the department. The official admits that the incidents have raised the debate over promoting nightlife in Karnataka, not just limiting it to Bengaluru. Each region/district is unique. The Daiva Kola and Bhoota Kola are held at night. The department is taking multiple steps to start Hampi By Night and promote nightlife on the beach. We cannot tell tourists not to venture out post sunset. Proper measures need to be in place for their safety, the official says. However, as the members of hotels and restaurants associations support the idea of promoting nightlife, they question the support of the government agencies. Chandrashekhar Hebbar, Honorary President, Karnataka Hotels Association, citing the example of Bengaluru, says though hotels and restaurants have permission to stay open till late in the night, the police ask them to shut down, citing manpower shortage. The government is unable to provide proper infrastructure support for nightlife in Tier-1 cities, let alone other places. He says while the government is checking all properties, the association has also started it. Karnataka has over a lakh hotels in varied categories, of which only 20% are registered. District administrations have held meetings with stakeholders and a list of all locations where tourists stay and visit are being listed out. A registry of all homestays, lodges, resorts and hotels is being prepared and tallied with the ones listed with the tourism department. Warnings are also being issued to unregistered property owners, and work is being done to clamp them down. Like the state tourisms tagline One State Many Worlds, the concerns of each district are unique. While stern warnings have been issued to property owners to adhere to the Karnataka Tourism Trade (Facilitation and Regulation) (KTTF) Act, 2015, officials are being pressed with suggestions for improvements. KODAGU In the case of Kodagu, which is famous for adventure, leisure and coffee tourism, the district administration has prepared a list of works needed to be taken up on priority. The list includes installation of additional lighting facilities at tourist destinations. The department has listed 23 destinations in Madikeri. Kodagu DC Venkat says they were acting swiftly to register all homestays on the departments website. There are over 3,000 homestays across Kodagu and about 2,229 are registered with us. We are including the list of homestays registered on the Kodagu tourism department website, he says. VIJAYANAGARA Prabhulinga Talakere, Deputy Director, Tourism Department, Vijayanagara, says all registered homestays are being listed in the website and notices are being served to illegal ones. Property owners have been directed to display all obtained operational licenses prominently on display boards to instill confidence among tourists. Ravi G, a homestay owner in Hampi, says the Koppal incident has impacted their business as foreigners have cancelled bookings. Vijayanagara district administration and stakeholders say there have been many instances in the past too where tourists have been ill-treated, including the one that happened last year wherein an autorickshaw driver tried to sexually harass a lady from Maharashtra. She filed a police complaint and the driver was arrested. UDUPI-CHIKkaMAGALURu As Udupi and Chikmagalur are famous for religious and trekking destinations, the government agencies are involving religious institutions and forest departments to ensure there are no untoward incidents. Kumar CU, Assistant Director, Udupi Tourism Department, says five beaches (Malpe, Kaup Light House beach, Padubidri Blue Flag beach, Trasi and Maravanthe) in the district have been recognized by the department and have all safety measures in place. Work on protecting other lesser-known beaches is underway. He says homestay and resort operators have been directed to annually sign an undertaking to ensure they comply with the rules. Shivaram Babu, Deputy Conservator of Forests, Karkala wildlife division, says no one is allowed inside forests for trekking without their guides. Entry of people in all forests is prohibited between 6pm and 6am. Chikkamagaluru District superintendent of Police Dr Vikram Amthe, in his meeting with homestays, lodges and resort owners, asserted that police department permission is compulsory before taking tourists for star gazing at Mullayanagiri and Sitalayyanagiri. The SP also directed all property owners to ensure no night parties are allowed beyond 10pm. KALYANA KARNATAKA REGION In Kalyana Karnataka, the region famous for its forts, especially in Kalaburagi, during interaction with tourists and stakeholders, officials were asked to make note of the need to improve the provision of basic infrastructure including restrooms. Even as the district administration started to check all the lodges and hotels and their ledgers, they were greeted with complaints from tourists. HASSAN The region is not just famous for the archaeological sites Belur, Halebid and Shravanabelagola but now also for elephant tourism. Hassan district administration officials too were forced to make note of the need to improve tourism facilities and safety measures in the heritage sites. During interaction it was learnt that authorities concerned had not maintained proper records of tourists, especially foreigners visiting the region, including the Western Ghats patches despite collecting entry fee. However, property owners have been keeping a records of domestic and international tourists. It may be recollected that last year tourists from Dakshina were attacked by miscreants near Patla Betta, a famous hill station. A tourist guide in Belur says: Belur is world famous for its temples, but lacks basic amenities and safety measures. Tourists or miscreants can enter from any nook and corner of the historic temples. There are no security guards to take care of tourists. Fortunately, no major incident has occurred so far. BENGALURU-MYSURU Just like Bengaluru, Mysuru is a unique city with immense and mixed tourism flavours for the government agencies to deal with. The two cities offer not just wildlife and adventure tourism in city outskirts, the urban cities are also famous for heritage, educational, health, cultural, MICE and urban tourism. After the Koppal incident, the police administrations of Mysuru and Bengaluru have not just been holding high-level stakeholder meetings to ensure tourist safety, they have also been holding meetings with each other to share notes. There are several resorts and homestays in the fringes of Bandipur, Nagarahole and BRT tiger reserves and in Kabini backwaters which witness a huge footfall of domestic and international tourists. After the alleged gang-rape incident in Koppal, district authorities and police have visited the establishments to inspect all security measures, and their licenses and certificates are being verified. SHIVAMOGGA In case of Shivamogga, that is known for the scenic natural beauty and literature-rich destinations, T Dharmappa, assistant director, tourism department, Shivamogga, says, a District Tourism Development Committee (DTDC) meeting will be held in April inviting all resort, hotel and homestay owners. They will also be educated on the need for their support and create awareness to avoid any untoward incidents. DAKSHINA KANNADA As Dakshina Kannada deputy commissioner Mullai Muhilan says, apart from taking stock of all properties, they are working on additional Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) by taking inputs from all stakeholders for the security of tourists visiting Mangaluru. Yathish Baikampady, a beach tourism promoter, points out that local authorities must ensure there is lighting at all the beaches throughout the night. He says if there is proper lighting, a lot of families will visit the beaches and no untoward incident will happen. Streetlights at all tourist destinations should be properly maintained and there should also be proper police patrolling so that no anti-social elements thrive.

Malabar marks 500th anniversary of Valiya Hassans martyrdom
KANNUR: Even before the Kunjali Marakkars and Variyamkunnath Kunjahammed Haji rose to prominence as freedom fighters in Malabar, Valiya Hassan (also known as Baliya Hassan) played a pivotal role in resisting the Portuguese. A key leader of the Arakkal dynasty, he served as the trusted lieutenant and military commander of Arakkal Ali Raja, earning the title Captain of the Arakkal Dynasty. As 2025 marks the 500th anniversary of Valiya Hassans martyrdom, the movement to recognise his contributions is gaining momentum. Hassan was captured and executed by the Portuguese at the St Angelo Fort in Kannur on January 7, 1525, just two weeks after Vasco da Gamas death on December 24, 1524, during the rule of Henrique de Meneses, son of the notorious pirate Don Duarte de Meneses. Despite his significance, historical records on Valiya Hassan are scarce. Former police officer Sathyan Edakkad mentions him in his book Vasco da Gama and the Unknown Facts of History. The only existing references to Valiya Hassan are in Portuguese archives from the 1520s, where he is described as a persistent nuisance who waged guerrilla warfare against them. He and his warriors launched nighttime attacks on Portuguese ships using small boats, Edakkad explains. Hassan was lured into a meeting, betrayed, and arrested, he says. After being imprisoned at the Kannur Fort for over two weeks, he was executed in 1525. The records also indicate that Gamas third visit to India included discussions on Hassans trial, Edakkad points out. The betrayal was orchestrated by the Kolathiri ruler who arranged the fateful meeting between Hassan and the Portuguese. Despite the Arakkal king offering a substantial ransom for his release, the Portuguese refused, prioritising their colonial ambitions over financial gain. Hassans execution weakened the Arakkal Ali Rajas military power and also led to a breakdown in Arakkal-Kolathiri relations, resulting in further conflicts. St Angelos Fort, also known as Kannur Fort, where Valiya Hassan was executed A grave in front of Kannur City Juma Masjid is believed to be Hassans final resting place. Dutch records also reference him, highlighting their role in assisting the Arakkal forces against the Portuguese-Kolathiri alliance. Efforts are now underway in Kannur to revive Valiya Hassans legacy. The campaign Shaheed Baliya Hassan: 500 Years of Brave Martyrdom is being led by the Kannur City Heritage Foundation and socio-cultural expatriate groups. Several cultural events have already taken place this year to commemorate his fight. It was striking that no major commemorative events were held in Kochi on December 24 last year to mark the 500th death anniversary of Vasco da Gama. Yet, just 14 days later, on January 7, a tribute was held for Arakkal Valiya Hassan. We are organising various events to raise awareness about our brave hero, says Kannur City Heritage Foundation managing director Muhammed Shihad. Our history books teach children about Vasco da Gama as the great navigator who discovered the sea route to India, but they often ignore the darker side of that story -- the bloodshed and suffering of countless Malabaris, including Valiya Hassan. There are no official Indian records of Valiya Hassan, he says. Our goal is to revisit history from the perspective of anti-colonial resistance. We plan to release a book in collaboration with the History Department of Kannur University. The Kannur corporation also aims to erect a memorial statue in his honour, Shihad adds.

Jammu & Kashmir grapples with heavy snow, incessant rains; five dead
SRINAGAR: At least five people lost their lives in the Jammu region as heavy rain and snowfall lashed here disrupting air, rail, and road traffic. The Srinagar-Jammu National Highway, the only road link connecting Kashmir with the rest of the country, has been closed for vehicular movement. The Meteorological Department has predicted more wet weather in the coming days. Since February 25, Jammu and Kashmir has been experiencing continuous rain and snow. The upper reaches, including tourist destinations like Gulmarg, Sonamarg, and Gurez, received moderate to heavy snowfall, while the plains, including Srinagar, also experienced snowfall. Moderate to heavy rainfall ended a prolonged dry spell in the region. A traffic police official said that the Srinagar-Jammu National Highway is blocked due to snow accumulation between Ramsoo and Qazigund, along with shooting stones, landslides, and mudslides between Nashri and the Navyug tunnel. Additionally, the Batote-Doda road has been closed due to landslides at Ragi Nallah. A snow avalanche hit Khandyal village in the Gurez Valley of north Kashmirs Bandipora district, damaging two houses. Fortunately, there were no injuries or casualties. Authorities have issued warnings as the snowfall has increased the risk of avalanches in several mountainous regions. Another avalanche struck a road in the Beigpura area of Chhatroo in Kishtwar district, but no damage or casualties were reported. The bad weather has severely impacted air travel, causing delays in all morning flights at Srinagar International Airport. Train services have also been partially affected due to the wet conditions. In the Jammu region, five people died due to weather-related incidents. In Poonch, a Scorpio vehicle hired by CRPF was hit by a boulder in the Madana area, killing the driver, Wahid Ahmed from Poonch, and injuring two CRPF personnel. In another incident, a Tipper fell into a gorge during heavy rainfall in the Bafliaz area of Surankote, killing the driver while the injured helper was taken to a local hospital. In the Mahore area of Reasi district, a 14-year-old boy, Paviter Singh, died after being washed away in the Sangoor Nallah in the Tuli area of Chassana. Reports suggest he accidentally slipped into the water, and his body was recovered downstream. In the Udhampur district, a mother and her son lost their lives after rolling stones hit the motorcycle they were traveling on in the Mongri area. The deceased were identified as Raghunath and his mother, Shanu Devi. The Meteorological Department has forecast an extended period of wet weather. The weather generally will remain cloudy with light rain/snow at isolated to scattered places during March 1 and 2, while light to moderate rain and snow will occur at many places on March 3, a MeT official said.

Hooked on a scam: How call merging lures you into losing money
The latest in the series of the ever-evolving 'scam-scape' is the call merging scam, a simple yet crafty phishing method that baits unsuspecting phone users and reels in sensitive information. From convincing calls posing as familiar contacts to seemingly innocent messages offering rewards, these scams prey on trust and momentary lapses in caution. As cybercriminals become more inventive, its essential for users to stay alert and adopt preventive measures to safeguard their personal and financial information. Cybercriminals are constantly evolving their tactics, and one of the latest scams is particularly crafty. The scam begins with a call from a fraudster who pretends to be a friend or acquaintance, claiming they got the victim's contact details through a mutual connection. The scammer then asks the victim to merge the call with someone else, creating the illusion of a legitimate conversation. Unaware of the trap, the victim agrees, unknowingly linking the call to an OTP verification process from their bank. The scammer has timed everything perfectly, waiting until the victim receives the OTP. Assuming it's part of the ongoing call, the victim shares the OTP, only for the fraudster to use it to authorise unauthorised transactions, draining their bank account. In some cases, scammers may take it a step further. They could pose as media professionals, inviting the victim to cover an event. During the conversation, the victim receives another call from an unknown number. The scammer claims the second call is from a VIP and convinces the victim to merge the calls. Once merged, the fraudster listens in, capturing OTPs from banking apps or social platforms like WhatsApp and Facebook, which they use to steal money or hack accounts. The simplicity and deception behind this scam make it especially dangerous. Once the victim shares the OTP, the transaction is completed, and the money is gone, leaving them stunned and helpless. This serves as a stark reminder to be cautious when dealing with unknown numbers and seemingly innocent requests. In another scam, fraudsters gather personal details from various sources where individuals have shared their phone numbers. Using this information, they send messages claiming the recipient has made a recent purchase. If the recipient clicks on the provided link, their money is instantly stolen. According to NDTV , in one such incident, a 26-year-old woman from New Delhi, who recently bought an HP laptop from Croma, received such a message a few days later. The message claimed she had won a voucher and asked her to provide personal and banking details to claim it. However, she noticed an inconsistency the message mentioned both Croma and Vijay Sales, stating the voucher was for a purchase made at Vijay Sales. This error raised her suspicions and helped her avoid falling victim to the scam. How do these scams work? The National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) has issued a warning about the emerging call merging scam. Fraudsters are exploiting the call merge feature on phones to steal one-time passwords (OTPs) and commit financial fraud. In a post on the microblogging platform X (formerly Twitter), NPCI cautioned: Scammers are using call merging to trick you into revealing OTPs. Dont fall for it! Stay alert and protect your money. Scammers are using call merging to trick you into revealing OTPs. Dont fall for it! Stay alert and protect your money. Share this post to spread awareness! #UPI #CyberSecurity #FraudPrevention #StaySafe #OnlineFraudAwareness #SecurePayments pic.twitter.com/kZ3TmbyVag UPI (@UPI_NPCI) February 14, 2025 How to protect yourself from such scams: To help you stay safe, NPCI has shared several important precautions Avoid merging calls with unknown numbers, particularly if someone insists on doing so from an unfamiliar source. Always verify the identity of anyone claiming to be from your bank. If in doubt, confirm their details before sharing any information. Remember, banks will never ask for your OTP over the phone. If someone requests it, it's likely a scam. If you receive an OTP for a transaction you didn't initiate, report it immediately by calling 1930 (the national cybercrime helpline) and contact your bank. Additionally, consider these extra precautions: Be cautious of unsolicited calls and messages. Never share personal or sensitive information with unknown contacts. Avoid clicking on suspicious links, even if they promise vouchers, discounts, or cash rewards. Do not install apps from untrusted sources, as they may allow scammers to access your devices camera and photo gallery, which could be used for KYC verification. If you receive a suspicious call, always verify the sender's identity through official channels before taking any further action. Along with phishing links, fraudsters are employing advanced techniques like call merging, call forwarding, voicemail scams, QR code fraud, and screen sharing scams. APK and RAT Malware Scams Another growing threat involves the use of Android Application Package (APK) files and Remote Access Trojans (RATs). Such tools allow hackers to remotely control a victim's device without their knowledge. For example, on May 21, a Deputy Superintendent of Police (DySP) from the Hassan sub-division fell victim to such a scam, losing Rs 15.98 lakh. He had installed an application sent via a text message, which appeared to be from a nationalised bank. The link contained an APK or RAT file, granting hackers full access to his device, resulting in significant financial loss. As technology continues to evolve, so do the tactics employed by cybercriminals to deceive and defraud individuals. Whether through call merging scams, phishing links, or malware attacks, these criminals exploit trust and manipulate unsuspecting victims. By staying vigilant, verifying the identity of callers, and avoiding suspicious links or requests, we can significantly reduce the risk of falling victim to such scams. Its essential to keep our personal information secure and act quickly if we suspect any fraudulent activity. With awareness and caution, we can protect ourselves and our finances from these ever-evolving threats. NPCI alerts users about call merging scam: What it is and how to stay safe
