The government is setting up a high-powered committee to formulate a comprehensive action plan to deal with cyber crime in the country. “The committee would be set up under the public-private partnership model and will have IT professionals and officials from law-enforcing agencies as its members.
The committee would look at threats arising out of cyber crimes and suggest necessary remedies to the government,” said minister of state for home, Sriprakash Jaiswal, at a seminar organised by industry body Assocham.
He said the committee would recommend various ways to the government to curtail cyber crime within a limited time period so that the culprits are apprehended without any delay. However, he did not disclose the detailed frame work of the committee. He also said that the parliamentary standing committee concerned has informed his ministry that it had cleared the new cyber crime bill.
“Though the government is taking necessary steps to prevent cyber crime, active participation by citizens is also required to curb this menace. Since cyber crime is prominent even in developed countries such as the US, UK and Japan, co-operation among the leading groups of various countries is necessary to collectively fight cyber crimes,” Mr Jaiswal added.
Several police organisations and laboratories of Directorate of Forensic Sciences have their own cyber crime cells and computer forensic facilities . The government is making constant efforts to equip law enforcing agencies with latest technology to enable them to deal with cyber crimes efficiently, said Mr Jaiswal.
