Criminals are adopting various tactics to commit cyber fraud. Fraudsters take the help of SMS messages in many ways to trap mobile users, while others commit fraud through social media.

Among those traveling by car, Bangalore, and Jaipur come next. The number of cars in Delhi and NCR is increasing day by day and now it has crossed the one crore mark. The number of two-wheelers has also increased tremendously. Two-wheelers were only 8.8 percent in 1951. Now their number has increased to 73.5. Just like in life, we have to bear the consequences of hasty decisions, the same goes for the hurried actions on the road. A little mistake can cause big damage. Being disciplined, patient and tolerant are the key factors of being a good driver. You have to understand that life is invaluable. Before driving a vehicle, it is ver
