In a video message, Amitabh Bachchan stressed the importance of vigilance against cybercrime.
He said, “The rising cases of cybercrime in the country and across the world are a matter of concern. The Home Ministry’s Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre is working towards controlling this. With Home Minister Amit Shah’s insistence, I joined this campaign, and I want us all to unite against this problem. A bit of caution can protect us from cybercrimes.”
On Tuesday, Amit Shah addressed the first Foundation Day celebrations of I4C and launched the ‘Samanvay’ Platform, a joint cybercrime investigation facility system. The I4C initiative, approved in October 2018, aims to tackle cybercrime comprehensively. The government has since taken various steps to increase awareness, prevent cybercrime, and enhance law enforcement capacity through cyber alerts, training, and improved forensic facilities.
