| Khoda asks India Inc for strong security software | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Jan 21: Admitting inadequacies in providing security to industrial establishments due to enormous task of security forces, the Director General of Jammu and Kashmir Police Kuldeep Khoda today called upon the Indian software giants to build appropriate software for security agencies which will provide them tools for better investigation and help them create a nationwide database of crime and criminals.
Khoda was delivering a keynote address on: “National Security - The Role of India Inc.” in New Delhi.
With Mumbai terror attacks exposing cracks in the security apparatus to protect private industrial establishments, Khoda said the "inadequacies" were because of enormity of the task and cost implications.
"The recent 26/11 attacks on the industrial icons in Mumbai has exposed the inadequacies of the state security apparatus to provide security to the industrial establishments in the private sector," said the DGP.
The inadequacies were primarily due to the enormity of the task of providing security to the rapidly growing India Inc. The other major reason was the enormous cost implication, he added.
He said India Inc could play a role in strengthening the state security apparatus for dealing with the emerging national security challenges.
He also suggested that Indian software giants should build appropriate software for security agencies which will provide them tools for better investigation and help them create a nationwide database of crime and criminals.
System for fingerprint automation, integrated and networked surveillance system capable of generating logical alerts and cyber forensic capabilities could also be looked into by software companies, he said.
Corporate houses should look into ways and means for providing resources for strengthening security infrastructure, Khoda said.
"The security concerns have to be visualised and assessed at the time of conceiving the project and implemented during the construction stage," he said.
Pointing out that security related expenditure was considered as an avoidable expenditure, he said "this mindset has to be changed."
Khoda also said that business houses can devise a mechanism for providing security to industrial establishments in private sector.
He said corporate firms must take lead in identifying and plugging loopholes in the private security system.
The senior police official favoured setting up of small quick reaction teams of the CISF which could be provided to private industrial establishments on payment to deal with terror attacks or serious security threats, while low risk routine security jobs can be done by private agencies.
He said the law enforcement agency will have to improve its capabilities for meeting new challenges by focusing on better training and improving investigations and intelligence gathering.
