Dasara 2026: City police constitutes social media monitoring teams to check spread of false information
The Mysuru City police has established 20 social media monitoring teams, consisting of 58 trained personnel, across various police stations and the Commissioner of Police's office. The teams will work around the clock during Dasara to identify and combat the spread of false information and rumors that may cause public panic, according to City Police Commissioner Seema Latkar.
The Commissioner made this announcement during a press conference in Mysuru on Friday. To assist visitors during the festival, the city police have launched the Mysuru Dasara 2026 Visitor Portal, which will provide updated information in Kannada and English from October 11 to 21. The portal, accessible at https://mysurupolicedasaraportal.com, features QR code links at event venues and offers the latest police announcements, emergency helplines, directions, and safety advice.
Visitors can also stay informed through the Mysuru City Police's official social media accounts on Facebook, Instagram, and X. The police have encouraged citizens to call the 112 emergency helpline in case of emergencies and highlighted that comments on the portal must be in English, written as full sentences, and adhere to community guidelines.
