To counter digital crimes and online frauds, Uttar Pradesh has set up cyber help desks in all 1,775 police stations of the state.
UP chief minister Yogi Adityanath said owing to rapid development of technology, some misuse it to cause financial harm through cyber frauds and digital crimes.
“It is essential to use technology to counter such incidents,” he said while speaking speaking at the inauguration of the National Conference on the Role of Forensic Science and Cyber Security in the Justice Process.
“Over the past seven and a half years, Uttar Pradesh has firmly established this principle, gaining recognition for its governance at both national and international levels,” he added.
In the first phase, cyber police stations were set up in 18 ranges of UP, followed by their establishment in all 75 districts.
Moreover, UP State Institute of Forensic Sciences was established to groom professionals for mitigating cyber frauds.
“Over the past seven and a half years, the UP government has conducted large-scale recruitments in the police force, filling over 154,000 vacancies. Currently, the recruitment process for 60,200 new police personnel is underway,” he added.
