Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu today said the state government’s four focus areas were divyang children, orphans, children of widows and the elderly people above 70 years of age.
Talking to media persons here, he said the state government was in the process of making the first college for the divyangs at Kandaghat in Himachal Pradesh. He said the state government had already worked out 80 per cent of things for the orphans, 90 per cent for the children of widows and 50 per cent for the divyangs.“The remaining things would be covered in the next year’s budget,” he said.
He said the outsourced employees in different departments, including the multi-purpose workers and other categories in Himachal Pradesh, would also get their salary on 28 October ahead of Diwali, like the regular government employees.
Earlier, he inaugurated the Cyber Wing's ‘CY-Station’ of the Himachal Pradesh Police in Shimla. He said that this station would function 24x7 and would be equipped to handle cybercrime-related complaints more efficiently. He said that citizens could register their cybercrime complaints through the toll-free number 1930.
The Chief Minister said that the ‘CY-Station’ would enable real-time registration of complaints, particularly in cases of financial fraud. This would facilitate the blocking or lien marking of defrauded amounts through the Citizen Financial Cyber Fraud Reporting and Management System (CFCFRMS).
“The data centre will act as the nodal hub for the state, overseeing the functioning of the NCRP's District Portal, maintaining a database of all complaints and actions taken, and serving as a key decision-making centre for future strategies,” he added.
Sukhu said that the ‘CY-Station’ was fully equipped with modern technology to ensure a swift response. He said that trained operators had been deployed in the station besides equipping it with automatic software for call recording, ensuring effective follow-up and reference.
The data centre’s network infrastructure would serve as a strategic link between Himachal Pradesh’s cyber infrastructure and the centralised National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal and in cases where a complaint was reassigned to a bank or financial institution for correction, the data centre will ensure immediate action in coordination with the complainant.
The Chief Minister said the state government was making dedicated efforts to modernise the Himachal Pradesh Police, ensuring that the department integrates advanced technology into its operations.
This modernisation initiative aims to enhance the efficiency, transparency and responsiveness of the police force, ultimately improving public safety and providing better services to the people of the State. By adopting modern tools and systems, the police will be able to address emerging challenges more effectively, streamline processes, and foster stronger community relations, contributing to an overall safer and more secure Himachal Pradesh, he added.
Rural Development and Panchayati Raj Minister Anirudh Singh, MLA Harish Janartha, DG (CID) SR Ojha, IG Santosh Patial, DIG (Crime) DK Chaudhary, DIG (Cyber Crime) Mohit Chawla and other senior police officers were also present on the occasion.
