The cybercrime wing of the Tirunelveli City police organised an awareness event at St. Xavier’s Higher Secondary School, Palayamkottai, on Thursday.

Police officials attached to the cybercrime wing explained in detail about cybercrimes and the safest methods of using mobile phones and computers without getting trapped in cybercrimes.

They also clarified the doubts raised by the students during the question-and-answer session. Published - August 13, 2026 08:05 pm IST
