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.
