Jaipur, March 12 (PTI) Rajasthan Director General of Police Rajiv Kumar Sharma on Thursday chaired a review meeting of the state’s Cyber Crime Branch and directed officials to strengthen communication mechanisms to provide swift relief to victims.

Discussions focused on preventing cyber crimes, ensuring rapid action and delivering timely assistance to affected persons. Sharma said the existing infrastructure should operate more effectively, following the model of the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C).

“The DGP asked officials to prepare proposals for necessary equipment and manpower. He also instructed them to set points for Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and conduct monthly reviews, according to an official release.

Reviewing awareness initiatives conducted last year, Sharma called for better use of technology to take strict action against cyber offenders. He instructed that bi-monthly campaigns be run to enhance public awareness about cyber threats.

Sharma directed officials to strengthen the cyber crime helpline, 1930, by increasing the number of lines at the Police Headquarters from 11 to 17 to provide immediate support to victims.
