Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala Home Minister Kodiyeri Balakrishnan Monday told the state assembly
that a comprehensive law is being prepared to tackle the increasing number of cyber crimes being
reported in the state.
'We are working with the legal department to see that a comprehensive law is worked out. The
current IT Act does not have enough teeth because it was formed a few years back, and since then
the world of technology has changed dramatically. So that has to be amended,' Balakrishnan said.
Replying to a calling attention motion moved by Congress leader Thiruvanchoor Radhakrishnan, the
minister said a full-fledged cyber police station has already started functioning here as the first step to
tackle the menace.
Moving the motion, Radhakrishnan stressed that the use of mobile phones in educational institutions
should be banned as it would go a long way in checking cyber crime.
