Safer Internet Day – efforts on to cut cases in U.P: ADG cybercrime

Every year, on February 7, people come together to raise awareness and celebrate Safer Internet Day. This year marks the 20th anniversary of this global observance.

With so much personal and professional data on the internet, online safety has become an important subject, more so in terms of Uttar Pradesh. According to the recent National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) figures the state ranks highest only after Karnataka in the number of cybercrime cases.

This rank is alarming especially when the U.P. police’s cyber cell continues its crackdown on cyber criminals. It is developing cyber cells across the state and even organising awareness campaigns to educate people.
