Odisha to Get 20 New Cyber Police Stations to Strengthen Law Enforcement
The Chief Minister confirmed that 20 new cyber police stations will soon become operational in different districts to strengthen cyber policing infrastructure. Along with this, the existing 14 cyber police stations will be upgraded with modern technology and advanced investigation tools. This step will help officers respond faster to online frauds and data theft incidents.
India’s Digital Growth Calls for Strong Cybersecurity Measures
Highlighting the country’s rapid digital expansion, Majhi mentioned that nearly 82 crore people, or 55 percent of India’s population, use the internet, making India the second-largest online user base in the world. “As people increasingly depend on digital systems, the risks of cybercrime and online frauds rise equally fast,” he said, calling for continuous vigilance and stronger cybersecurity initiatives at both state and national levels.
