Gurugram, November 18^th, 2025: The threat of cyber fraud is steadily increasing in the state of Haryana. The state has lost ₹850 crore to digital frauds in 2024, with Gurugram alone accounting for one-fifth of the total cases during this period, said Mr. Vikas Beniwal, Sub-Inspector, PS Cyber Manesar. He was speaking at the nationwide fraud awareness programme “Knock Out Digital Fraud” jointly organized by Haryana Police and Bajaj Finance Ltd (BFL) at Government College, Sidhrawali. Around 250 students and faculty members of the college attended the awareness programme.

Elaborating further on various kinds of frauds, Mr. Beniwal said,“The biggest reasons people fall victim are ignorance, greed and apprehension. Fraudsters use tactics like digital arrest, investment scams and task-based fraud to isolate victims, exploit psychology and drain their life savings. Whenever someone calls asking for money or account details, there should be no second thought—they are a fraudster. Awareness is the only real defence.”

“Cybercrime is rising at an alarming pace. In Gurugram alone, more than 25,000 cybercrime cases have been reported in 2024. In the event of cyber fraud, the victim should promptly file a complaint with the cyber police, as it significantly increases the chances of recovering the lost amount. The first three hours are considered the golden period for reporting such incidents,” he further said adding that total of 5000 arrests have been done so far in reported cases.

In 2024-25, the Haryana Police recovered ₹100 crore from cyber fraud cases. Across India, losses have crossed ₹22,800 crore in the same period—an increase of nearly 40% from last year.

Addressing the awareness campaign, Mr. Rajeshpal, Assistant Sub-Inspector, PS Cyber Manesar, Haryana said, “Our country is progressing, and as we grow stronger, cyber fraud has become a form of economic war against us. This is why nationwide fraud awareness is essential. You must stay alert and protect yourselves from tempting offers, suspicious links, and social media tricks. Fraudsters operate from abroad and use our own carelessness against us.”

“By not sharing your bank details, always verifying before you act, and staying alert, one can easily protect themselves from cyber fraud,” he added.

Mr. Satyender Kumar, Assistant Sub-Inspector, PS Cyber Manesar, Haryana said, “Cyber fraud has now become a business, operating through clusters across the country. As communication and digital connectivity have increased, our vulnerabilities have also grown. he most important thing is awareness. If you ever suspect cyber fraud, call 1930 immediately because early action greatly improves the chances of stopping the transaction. Avoid sharing access, avoid suspicious APK files, and do not link the same number to every platform”.

Speaking at the occasion, Professor P.K. Malik, Government College Sidhrawali, said, ‘India’s youth can play an important role in spreading awareness against different forms of cybercrime and protecting their families and communities by staying alert and informed.’”

Bajaj Finance Ltd (BFL), India’s largest non-banking financial company in the private sector, and a part of Bajaj Finserv is organising a nationwide financial literacy and cyber fraud awareness programme which aims to inform digital users about different types of threats, and best practices to safeguard finances.

The nationwide campaign is aligned with the Reserve Bank of India’s 2024 guidelines on Fraud Risk management for NBFCs, which emphasizes early detection, staff accountability, and public engagement to make the digital ecosystem safer for everyone.

The nationwide awareness programme offers the cyber community valuable safety tips on safeguarding personal and sensitive information. This includes refraining from sharing OTPs, PINs, clicking on suspicious emails, SMSs, links, QR codes and downloading applications from unknown sources. It includes a series of interactive workshops, digital awareness drives, and community outreach programs across major cities and towns.

The programme is focused on drawing citizens’ attention to common financial frauds committed by scammers including fake social media accounts, WhatsApp groups and websites that mimic financial companies, falsely claiming affiliation and impersonating their employees.

दिल्ली पुलिस ने खुद स्वीकार किया है कि 26 जनवरी को दिल्ली में होने वाली किसान ट्रेक्टर रैली में कुछ लोग गड़बड़ी कर सकते है खासतौर पर पाकिस्तान की तरफ से सोशल मीडिया पर माहौल बिगाड़ने की कोशिश हो रही है .

दिल्ली पुलिस ने ट्रेक्टर रैली को मंजूरी दे दी है लेकिन साथ ही सुरक्षा के कड़े इंतजाम करने का निर्देश भी दिया है ताकि कोई फायदा नहीं उठा सके .

हालांकि मंजूरी मिलने के बाद अब किसानों ने ट्रैक्टर रैली की टाइमिंग और रूट पर सवाल उठाया है.

किसान मजदूर संघर्ष कमेटी के नेता सुखविंदर सिंह सभरा ने कहा, ‘शर्तों के साथ ट्रैक्टर रैली निकालने की बात हमें मंजूर नहीं है. 12 बजे रैली निकालने का कोई तुक नहीं है.’ इसके साथ ही उन्होंने रूट को लेकर भी सवाल उठाया और कहा, ‘किसान ओल्ड रिंग रोड से जाना चाहते थे, लेकिन रैली को जिन इलाकों से इजाजत दी है वो सब हरियाणा में आते है .

दिल्ली पुलिस के स्पेशल कमिश्नर- इंटेलिजेंस दीपेंद्र पाठक ने कहा, ‘ट्रैक्टर रैली को डिस्टर्ब करने के बहुत सारे इनपुट्स बार-बार आ रहे हैं। इंटेलिजेंस और अन्य एजेंसियों से हमें पता चला है कि गणतंत्र दिवस पर किसानों के ट्रैक्टर मार्च में गड़बड़ी का खतरा है। गड़बड़ी और कन्फ्यूजन फैलाने के उद्देश्य से पाकिस्तान में 308 नए ट्विटर हैंडल बनाए गए हैं।’ दिल्ली पुलिस की ओर से पाकिस्तान में बनाए गए ट्विटर हैंडल्स की लिस्ट भी जारी की गई है।

पाठक ने आगे कहा, ’13 जनवरी से 18 जनवरी के बीच सोशल मीडिया ऐनालिसिस से पता चलता है कि ट्रैक्टर रैली को डिस्टर्ब करने लिए, भ्रम पैदा करने के लिए 308 ट्विटर हैंडल पाकिस्तान से जेनरेट हुए हैं। वे इसपर लगातार काम कर रहे हैं। देश के कई जगहों से इनपुट्स हैं कि रैली के वक्त गड़बड़ी और कानून व्यवस्था को लेकर चुनौतियां पैदा की जाने की साजिश है।’

हम किसानों की ट्रैक्टर रैली को सुरक्षित तरीके से संपन्न करा पाएं, इसको लेकर चर्चा हुई है। हरियाणा और यूपी के अधिकारियों के साथ भी सुरक्षा को लेकर चर्चा हुई है। एक खास समय पर, एक खास तरीके से, पेशेवर तरीके से रैली को आयोजित करने कोशिश की जाएं। सुरक्षा के सभी जरूरी प्रबंध किए जाएंगे।

Punjab’s farmer unions have changed their strategy of taking only the highways to the national capital. They plan to enter Haryana through other routes .meanwhile Dehli and Haryana police barricaded many routs coming to Dehli. Metro and bus services also affected badly forcing many to work from home only .

While activists of the Bharti Kisan Union Ekta-Ugrahan and Sidhupur factions have been camping on the Punjab-Haryana border at Khanauri and Moonak, respectively, in Sangrur district since Wednesday evening, other farmer unions have changed their plans and decided to head for Delhi from other entry points.

Members of the Kirti Kisan Union, BKU Kadian and Rajewal factions plan to assemble at Mastuana Sahib in Sangrur and head for Shambhu border at 1

Thousands of farmers from  Punjab are assembling at the border of Haryana for their march and  ready for any confrontation with the security personnel .A showdown is likely with farmers from five states – Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Uttarakhand, Rajasthan and Punjab – planning a march to Delhi today and tomorrow. The Delhi government has refused to allow any rally in the city.

Haryana has sealed borders with Punjab today and tomorrow after orders from Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar. Massive security arrangement, complete with barricades, water cannons and riot vehicles have been made on roads from Punjab to thwart the protest march. Prohibitory orders banning large gatherings have been imposed in the state.

Haryana has also suspended bus service to and from Punjab for the next two days and diverted all traffic from the blocked roads.

Farmers from Punjab camped at the Haryana border for the night. They said they will hold a sit-down protest wherever they are stopped by the neighbouring state. The Bharatiya Kisan Union (Ekta-Ugrahan) has claimed that over two lakh farmers associated with it will enter Haryana.

The farmers have brought ration, vegetables, wood and other essentials for the march. In view of the cold weather, they have also stocked quilts, blankets and covered their trolleys with tarpaulin. “We are ready for the battle, which may last long,” said BKU (Ekta-Ugarhan) general secretary Sukhdev Singh Kokrikalan. The farmers have said they will not return till the matter is settled

Implementation
The project will be implemented by Haryana Rail Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited (HRIDC), a Joint Venture company set up by Ministry of Railways with Government of Haryana. The project will have joint participation of Ministry of Railways, Government of Haryana and private stakeholders.
Estimated completion cost of the project is Rs. 5,617 crore. The project is likely to be completed in 5 years.

Benefits
The districts of Palwal, Nuh, Gurugram, Jhajjar and Sonipat districts of Haryana will be benefitted through this rail line.

This will facilitate diversion of traffic not meant for Delhi thus decongesting NCR and will help in developing multimodal logistics hubs in Haryana State sub-region of NCR. It will provide high-speed seamless connectivity of this region to Dedicated Freight Corridor network resulting in reduction of cost and time of transportation for EXIM traffic from NCR to ports of India, making exports of goods more competitive. This efficient transport corridor along with other initiatives will provide enabling infrastructure to attract multinational industries to set up manufacturing units to fulfil the ‘Make in India’ mission. The project will connect unserved areas of the state of Haryana, thereby boosting economic and social activities in Haryana State. This multipurpose transport project will also facilitate affordable and faster commuter travel, long distance travel in different directions from Gurugram and the industrial regions of Manesar, Sohna, Farukhnagar, Kharkhauda and Sonipat.

Approximately 20,000 passengers each day will be travelling through this line and 50 Million Tonnes goods traffic would also be carried out every year.

Background
The Orbital Rail Corridor from Palwal to Sonipat by passing Delhi is a crucial infrastructure project for sustainable development of the National Capital Region and to decongest existing Indian Railway network in Delhi area. The alignment of this project is adjacent to the western peripheral (Kundli-Manesar-Palwal) Expressway and has been under consideration for some time. The project will have connectivity with all the existing Railway routes originating from Delhi and passing through Haryana State as well as with the Dedicated Freight Corridor network.

I am very happy that the partnership is being continued.”

During the announcement, Shri Manohar Lal Khattar said, “As a state Haryana has always promoted sports in a big way and supported its athletes. Hosting the Khelo India Youth Games in Haryana will only add greater impetus to our commitment towards creating a strong sporting ecosystem. Haryana has done very well in the last few editions of the Khelo India Youth Games and many of our athletes are already training under the Khelo India Scheme. I am confident that the upcoming edition of the Games will be grand, and I welcome all of you to Khelo India Youth Games, Haryana.

Director, NCS informed that given the seismic history of Delhi and its vicinity, the occurrence of minor earthquakes in Delhi-NCR is not unusual. However, there is no proven technology in the world wherein earthquakes are predicted with certainty in terms of its location, time and magnitude.

Following the meeting, the NDMA has requested the States to take the following measures:

i. Ensure compliance of building bye laws to make upcoming constructions earthquake resilient and to avoid addition of vulnerable building stock.

ii. Identify the vulnerable priority structures, especially lifeline buildings, and retrofit them. Private buildings should also be retrofitted to reduce the risk in a phased manner, wherever required.

iii. Conduct regular mock exercises to deal with earthquakes in future and come out with SoPs for immediate response after an earthquake

iv. Undertake the public awareness programmes regarding do’s and don’ts with regard to earthquakes.
The meeting was attended through Voice Conferencing (VC) by NDMA Members, Director General, National Disaster Response Force and senior officers of Government of NCT of Delhi, Rajasthan, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh.

Presenting their action plan to the Department of Drinking Water & Sanitation yesterday for achieving the goal of every household with tap water supply under the JJM, State officials said there are 28.94 lakh households in Haryana, out of which 18.83 lakh are already provided with Functional Household Tap Connection (FHTCs). Out of the remaining 10.11 lakh households, Haryana plans to provide tap connections in 7 lakh households by 2020-21.

During the current year, State is planning for 100% coverage of 1 district and 2,898 villages out of total 6,987 villages. More emphasis has been given to cover rural households in drought prone areas and aspirational districts. State is likely to get Rs 290 Crores as Central share under JJM for this financial year, which will be supplemented by same amount of State’s matching share. State is eligible for additional allocation based on physical and financial performance.

Out of 44 water testing laboratories, State plans NABL accreditation of 18 labs during current year. Field Testing Kits will be provided at community level for testing of water quality for taking corrective measures. State has planned to provide drinking water to all 35 quality-affected habitations.

In every Gram Panchayat, GP or their sub-committee i.e. Village Water & Sanitation Committees have been constituted for planning at village level. Village Action Plans have been carried out for villages, based on which the action plan has been finalized.

Dashboard of Public Health Engineering Department (PHED) has been recently launched by Chief Minister. It’s a dynamic platform, wherein the details of villages, tap connections, financial progress, etc. is monitored on real time basis.

During this testing time of CoVid-19 pandemic, such attempts to provide household tap connections in rural areas will definitely improve the ease of living especially the women and girls, reducing their drudgery, making them safe and lead a dignified life.

Government of India is implementing the ‘Jal Jeevan Mission’ (JJM) in partnership with States to ensure every rural household in the country has FHTC for drinking water in adequate quantity of prescribed quality on regular and long-term basis at affordable service delivery charges leading to improvement in their living standards.

It’s the endeavour of the Central Government to provide tap connections in rural households on priority basis during prevailing CoVid-19 situation, so that rural people don’t have to go through the hardship of fetching water from public stand-posts and stand in long queue. Government intends to ensure the rural communities are safe from being infected amidst CoVid-19 pandemic by providing the poor and marginalized sections of the society water supply through tap connections inside their house premises, thereby averting visits to water stand-posts while observing social distancing norms.

Advisories have been issued to States/ UTs to take up works related to drinking water on priority so as to achieve the twin objective of providing tap connections to rural households as well as creating job opportunities for local people and migrant workers.

Extensive exercise by consulting States/ UTs for the last 3 months were carried out wherein water supply schemes of every village was analyzed so as to provide tap connections in villages.
