NEW DELHI: Alarmed over the spate of cyber threats to airlines and CRPF schools, the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has asked the states and the Union Territories (UTs) to set up a special wing of cyber commandos in their respective police forces.
It is to be noted that in over the past week, the Indian airline operators have received more than 100 hoax bomb threats resulting in cancellation and diversions of several flights causing huge inconvenience to passengers and monetary loss to the civil aviation sector.
