Haryana Government has decided to establish state-of-the-art cyber forensic laboratory equipped with high-end tools at the premises of Haryana Police, Gurgaon.
It has also decided to set up a hi-tech training facility in the same premises for advance level training of police officers from not only Haryana but also other state police forces.
The government wants to enhance technological capabilities of the Haryana Police for monitoring of social media, an official spokesperson said in Chandigarh today.
A proposal to this effect has been approved by Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, he said.
He said that a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in this regard would soon be signed between National Technical Research Organisation (NTRO), New Delhi and Haryana Police.
The spokesman also said that NTRO, New Delhi, would be responsible for extending technical support, customised equipments, hardware, software, servers, workstations, application and training to set up a cyber forensic laboratory, including capability of social media monitoring.
The Haryana Police would provide about 3000 sq feet space for setting up of laboratory and training facility, the spokesperson said.
The NTRO would depute technical experts at the laboratory for providing training and smooth functioning of the lab whereas, Haryana Police would depute personnel on 24x7 basis for day-to-day manning of the facility and maintenance.
All recurring expenditure for managing smooth running of the facilities, lease line bills and consumable items would be borne by Haryana Police, he said.
He said that a team of NTRO has also visited Technical Analysis Wing in CID and discussed various aspects of social media monitoring and unauthorised usage of satellite phone.
