Seminar on cyber security held in Gaibandha

To raise awareness regarding digital safety and promote responsible internet usage among youth, an interactive seminar on cyber security was held at Gaibandha Government Women's College on Thursday.

The Gaibandha district unit of Bashundhara Shuvosangho organised the event, which drew the participation of around 300 students.

Gaibandha Additional Superintendent of Police (Administration and Finance) Md Shariful Al Razib, PPM, addressed the session as the chief guest and keynote speaker.

Veteran journalist KM Rezaul Haque attended as the special guest, while College Principal Professor Md Shamsul Haque presided over the proceedings.

The seminar turned interactive as students posed questions regarding digital safety, online harassment, and cyberbullying.

Responding to twelfth-grader Nusrat Jahan's query on police recourse for victims of online harassment, Shariful Al Razib outlined existing reporting mechanisms and legal remedies.

He cautioned students against falling prey to digital manipulation and commended Shuvosangho for organising a timely intervention.

KM Rezaul Haque noted that without proper digital literacy, students remain vulnerable to cyber threats that can derail their academic and personal lives.
