JAMMU, Dec 02: Despite cyber cases becoming a medium for the anti-social elements and terrorists to convey their sinister designs, cafes in Jammu city continue to violate the norms, while law enforcement agencies are also now stopped conducing routine checking.

Many of the cafes have even not installed the CCTV cameras and are not recording the detailed information of the customers visiting the cyber cafes daily.

Pertinently, after Delhi blast at High Court in 2011, the police had arrested three youths from Kishtwar and had detected the use of cyber café in the mountainous town for sending the threat mail. Later the state government has issued set of guidelines for the functioning of the cafes.

Source said that the police department had given strict instruction to the all cyber cafe owners to keep complete details of their costumers and they should install all the important security devices like CCTV cameras in order to record the videos footage if they find any suspected activity.

The cyber-cafe owners have been directed to get their businesses registered as early as possible, and failing to do so will invite strict action against them, however there ars styill some loopholes,.

Security agencies have laid down many rules for cyber cafe owners, like getting registered with police, installing CCTVs and providing regular footage of CCTVs to the police.

However café owners have their grievances. "How is this possible? We charge just Rs.20 per hour from the customers and hardly earn anything for installing all these security devices. The Kishtwar experience has had its impact on cyber cafes in across the state”, said a owner.

However when contacted Deputy Commissioner (DC)Jammu, Sanjeev Verma said that after Delhi blast “we had issued order to concern police station that keep checking that cyber café owners are following the guidelines, which was provided.

He further said that State police has made a list of all the cyber-cafe and internet service providers in the area. The concern police officials are properly check of cafes under their jurisdictions. If anyone is not following the guidelines the police department will take strict action against them.
