Norms for cyber cafes in Kadapa

Kadapa Superintendent of Police Mahesh M. Bhagwat on Tuesday directed cyber cafe owners in Kadapa district to follow prescribed guidelines to check designs of terrorist and extremists who used internet for destructive activities.

Cyber cafe owners should allow persons to use internet only after verifying their identity through any identity card, ration card, PAN card, passbooks or voter identity card and retain a Photostat copy of the identity for perusal by police, he told cyber cafe owners at a press conference here.

Mr. Bhagwat directed them to put up closed circuit television sets in cyber cafes and when they pointed out the high cost involved, he advised them to put up webcams within a fortnight to record the portrait of every net user with a 15-days record backup facility.
