Ganjam: When social responsibility meets stardom, the result is a campaign that’s both impactful and entertaining. The Cyber Safety Awareness Campaign – 2025, running across Ganjam District, got a glamorous touch as Odia cine artist Ms. Poonam Mishra and the cast of the upcoming movie Mantra Muugdha joined the drive to spread digital safety awareness.

Celebrities Take the Spotlight
On 16th November 2025, Poonam Mishra graced the campaign meetings in Chatrapur and Aska, interacting with participants and urging citizens to “STOP. VERIFY. BE SECURE” online. Her presence not only drew large crowds but also added a star-studded appeal to the otherwise educational campaign.
Joining her were Suryamayee Mohapatra, Sanoj Kumar, and Manmay Dey, the lead cast of the much-anticipated Odia film Mantra Muugdha. The actors participated in awareness sessions, highlighting the importance of cyber hygiene and safe digital practices. Their involvement helped the campaign reach youth audiences more effectively, blending entertainment with education.
Fun, Learning, and Awareness
The campaign wasn’t all speeches. Cultural performances, short plays, folk dances, and interactive displays kept audiences engaged while delivering critical messages on cyber safety. Videos prepared by Odisha Police were showcased on big LED screens, while campaign vehicles moved through villages to ensure wider reach.
Participants learned to protect themselves from cyber frauds—like not sharing OTPs, avoiding suspicious links, and reporting digital threats—all under the watchful guidance of police officers and cyber experts.
Star Power Amplifies Impact
The presence of Poonam Mishra and the Mantra Muugdha cast turned heads and made the campaign memorable. Citizens not only received important digital safety tips but also enjoyed a rare opportunity to see their favorite stars supporting a meaningful cause.
Ganjam Police’s campaign, now in its valedictory phase, has been hailed as a huge success, proving that awareness can be both effective and entertaining when celebrities step in to lead by example.
