Mumbai, Maharashtra – In a significant step towards improving law enforcement capabilities, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis inaugurated three state-of-the-art cyber labs in Mumbai to address the growing concern of cybercrime. The initiative is part of a broader effort to modernize the state’s police infrastructure and enhance crime-fighting mechanisms.
Fadnavis highlighted the importance of these new labs, stating, “I inaugurated three highly equipped cyber labs to tackle the growing cases of cybercrime.” The labs are designed to bolster the police’s ability to investigate and prevent digital crimes, which have become a major challenge in today’s technologically advanced society.
In addition to the cyber labs, Fadnavis unveiled several other new initiatives aimed at improving public safety. These included forensic vans and specialized vans designed to curb crimes against women, as well as interceptor vans to address the issue of overspeeding on the roads. The interceptor vans are equipped with advanced technology to catch speedsters and promote road safety across the city.
Another key initiative launched by the CM was the establishment of a Women’s Help Room in every police station across Mumbai. “Mumbai Police has set up a Women’s Help Room in every police station, which will greatly help women,” Fadnavis said. This initiative is aimed at providing women with a dedicated space where they can seek assistance and report crimes in a more comfortable and secure environment.
These efforts demonstrate Maharashtra’s commitment to improving law enforcement and tackling both emerging and traditional forms of crime. Fadnavis emphasized that these measures are part of the government’s ongoing efforts to ensure a safer and more secure environment for all residents of Mumbai.
