Cyber space emerges as 4th dimension to threats to national security: HM

Home Minister Rajnath Singh has said that cyber space has emerged as the fourth dimension to threats to national security. <br/><br/>Addressing the Closing Ceremony of the 8th All India Police Commando Competition at Manesar, in Haryana on Saturday, Mr Singh said commandos should also train to stamp out threats from the cyber space, apart from conventional threats emanating on the land, seas and in the air. <br/><br/>He said, hacking websites and data leaks also indirectly imperil national security.<br/><br/>Commending the smart turnout of the Commandos, Home Minister said he is confident that their iron fists can sniff out any evil eye casting aspersions on the soil. <br/><br/>Mr Singh said, a Commando is not only physically agile and deft in firing weapons but it is the composed mindset to make threat assessment and application of one's resources to overcome the threat. <br/><br/>He said, Commandos have made the nation proud, having proved their mettle during the 2001 Parliament attack, 2002 Akshardham temple attack, 2008 Mumbai attack and the recent Pathankot terrorist attack. <br/><br/>He also declared an honorarium of five crore rupees towards the NSG Welfare Fund.
