Gadag: In Gadag District, as part of a comprehensive initiative to enhance public safety, the city police station has deployed a specially equipped vehicle fitted with loudspeakers to spread awareness across the district. This initiative covers a wide range of safety concerns, including the promotion of the 112 emergency response service, precautions against home burglaries, and preventive measures to combat chain snatching. Additionally, the campaign addresses the growing threat of cybercrime by educating citizens on how to protect their digital presence. Road safety measures are also being emphasized, encouraging adherence to traffic rules and safe driving practices. Furthermore, the police are highlighting the importance of surveillance through CCTV systems, often referred to as the “third eye,” to deter criminal activities and improve public security.
To effectively communicate these messages, the police are not only utilizing loudspeaker announcements but are also distributing informative pamphlets and organizing public meetings. These meetings serve as an open forum for residents to engage with the authorities, raise concerns, and receive practical advice on safeguarding themselves and their property. This multi-pronged approach aims to build a safer and more vigilant community by fostering cooperation between law enforcement and the public.
