Shimla: Himachal Pradesh chief minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu on Monday inaugurated the state’s new 24/7-operational cybercrime wing, ‘CY-Station’, here, and the public can now report online scams on toll-free number 1930.
Sukhu said the station will facilitate real-time complaint registration, besides swift blocking or lien marking of defrauded funds through the Citizen Financial Cyber Fraud Reporting and Management System (CFCFRMS). He said: “The data centre will act as a nodal hub for the state, overseeing the functioning of the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal’s (NCRP) district portal, maintaining a database of complaints and actions, and serving as a key decision-making centre for future strategies.”
The CM claimed that the station ran on modern technology for rapid response, with trained operators and automated call recording software to ensure efficient follow-up on complaints. The data centre’s network will serve as a strategic link between that state’s cyber infrastructure and the centralised NCRP for quick action when complaints are reassigned to the banks or financial institutions for correction.
