With an increasing number of cybercrimes being reported in the tricity Haryana Shahari Vikas Pradhikaran (HSVP), Panchkula, chief information technology officer Sanjay Sharma initiated a campaign ‘cyber guardians’ to create public awareness about the issue.
Speaking on the occasion, Sharma said, “It is a public awareness initiative created to safeguard every individual for keeping their guards up when navigating the virtual World. Every day cybercrimes are reported with no effective mechanism in place to trace the fugitive.”
Further reaching out to volunteers to help spread awareness, he said, “If somebody is ready to volunteer his services in organising public awareness campaigns in schools, public places, offices and banks about the modus operandi adopted and counter mechanism for preventing such crimes we will be happy to add you to the group.”
“Help from local authorities, financial institutions and police will also be taken in spreading the cause. People can connect at Sanjay.spl@gmail.com,” HSVP’s chief information technology officer added.
