The Himachal Pradesh Police convened a high-level meeting on Saturday at the Police Headquarters to discuss "Cyber Swachhta Ver.01," a pilot initiative aimed at identifying, tracking, and eliminating cyber perpetrators operating within the state.

The initiative is expected to improve coordination among law enforcement agencies and enhance cyber investigation skills, ultimately contributing to a safer cyberspace for citizens of Himachal Pradesh.
The meeting was chaired by Atul Verma, DGP of Himachal Pradesh, and was attended by senior officials, including AK Yadav, IPS, Additional Director General of Police (ADGP); Mohit Chawla, IPS, Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of Cyber Crime; Rohit Malpani, IPS, Commanding Officer of the 1st HPAP Battalion, Junga; and Geetanjli Thakur, HPS, ANC PHQ, along with other cybercrime specialists.
