Only authorized persons can rescue snakes now | Vadodara News

Vadodara: The next time a snake rescuer turns up in your colony, ask for his or her identity card before the rescue operation. In a bid to crack down on those indulging in illegal activities under the pretext of snake rescue operations, the forest department has decided to allow only authorized persons to conduct snake rescues. It is a first of its kind initiative in the country for creating teams of authorised and professional snake rescuers.
Shyamal Tikadar, chief wildlife warden, Gujarat, on Tuesday shot off a letter to the chief conservator of forests (CCFs) as well as all conservator of forests (CFs), instructing them to create snake rescue teams across the state. He said that no unauthorized persons should be allowed to carry out snake rescues. Tikadar said in the circular that if any unauthorized person is found rescuing snakes, he or she shall be booked under the Wildlife Protection Act 1972.

Online fraudsters hatch new ways | Vadodara News

Vadodara: If you get a call from an unidentified person identifying himself as an army man or a cop wanting to rent your house, then beware. He may be a fraudster trying to dupe you of your hard earned money by promising to pay the rent if you scan a QR code sent by him. For a couple of years the Mewati gang that specialises in this fraud has become active in Gujarat and begun targeting unsuspecting citizens.
In a bid to tackle such cyber frauds, the police department has formed three different teams under the cybercrime police. “We get several complaints of online frauds so I have formed three different teams to focus on different crimes. One team focuses on social media frauds wherein conmen make fake profiles and siphon-off money from people,” said Shamsher Singh, city police commissioner.
