The Chairman apprised the CM that there are over four lakh security guards working in Delhi at present which can act as a force multiplier in ensuring safety and security to the habitants and infrastructure of the state. This work force is currently approximately 30% deficient and with an estimated annual growth rate of 22%, the private security industry is one of the major job facilitators in the state. In this preview, CAPSI is keen to work in conjunction with the Delhi Government in areas of mutual interest in order to achieve the desired level of safety for populace. CAPSI offered that a security guard in uniform on the way to his duty and back home travelling in the public transport can act as a deterrent to the criminals’ planning and their unlawful activities, and he mere can force them to refrain from such acts. In other words, a security guard by his sheer presence in the bus or in any other public transportation system can be able to provide incidental security to passengers. The private security guards are duly authorised and verified by the police and so their services can be used to boost safety of bus passengers in lieu of free ride given to them. They will act as ‘eyes and ears’ to ensure safety of women and children travelling in buses. “The Chief Minister agreed to consider this demand. The association offered services of security guards to keep watch in buses and boost safety of women and children,” Somnath Bharti said. CAPSI in a statement also confirmed that Mr. Kejriwal has agreed to consider the demand of the association to allow private security personnel to travel free in public buses in the city. The proposed ‘concession’ will be given to the security guards in uniform commuting to and from the places of their duty only. “Each security guard shall be given a special badge so that public may recognise him/ her as protector of citizens. The Chief Minister appreciated the social responsibility character of CAPSI and wanted us to organise security training to students of the 12th class in all schools. The Delhi Government will sign a MoU to commence these programmes at the earliest. It will also launch the publicity campaign to popularise its partnership with CAPSI for ‘Yatri Suraksha’,” said Kunwar Vikram Singh.

FICCI has recently organized a two-day conference on Homeland Security 2018 on the theme of ‘Cyber Crime Management’ in association with Vivekananda International Foundation. The Conference was inaugurated by S. S. Ahluwalia, the Union Minister of State for Electronics and IT who cautioned against indiscreet use of internet as it is fraught with grave threats of cyberattacks, thereby depriving the user of precious data and loss of privacy. On the occasion, the Minister also released the FICCI-EY report on ‘Confronting the New-Age Cybercriminal: Disrupting the Web of Crime.’ National Cyber Security Coordinator at National Security Council Secretariat, Gulsan Rai called upon industry professionals to put their heads together to design a framework and system to test whether the processes in place were resulting in doing the job efficiently. He underlined the need for government, industry and other stakeholders to come together to evolve standards and guidelines on the use of systems to ward off cyber-attacks and create internal security systems to suit the country’s needs. Dr. Arvind Gupta, Director, Vivekananda International Foundation & former Deputy National Security Adviser suggested that India would do well to protect itself from the growing menace of cyber-crime through a series of measures, which include review of criminal justice system, greater investment in cybercrime management, creation of indigenous security products, laying down extensive testing infrastructure, greater contribution in setting security standards at international fora, legally empowering the national coordinator to deal with security issues, and high spending by industry on R&D. FICCI President, Rashesh Shah, while lauding the work being done by the government to create digital infrastructure in the country, stressed the need for a robust mechanism to tackle the menace of cyber-crime. He suggested proactive cyber patrolling and monitoring of everything digital. Rahul Rishi, Partner, Advisory Services, EY, said that to confront the new age cyber criminals, a well thought and effective cybercrime management strategy needs to be devised. If the law enforcement agencies have to win this battle, there is a need for a paradigm shift in the approach to policing. The focus needs to shift from conventional to contemporary methods with the right blend of upskilling, and upgrading the three pillars – people, processes and technology. Predictive policing is needed to disrupt the expanding web of crime. “Self-regulation and exercise of utmost care in uploading and downloading information from the Net is a must as any indiscretion would lead to involuntarily aiding to the cyber criminals in their malicious intent. Training people and creating professionals trained in ethical hacking will play a major role in countering the designs of the cyber criminals” – S. S. Ahluwalia Union Minister of State for Electronics and IT, Govt. of India
