Minister of Communications, Railway, and Electronics & Information Technology Ashwini Vaishnaw launched the Department of Telecommunications (DoT)’s ‘Digital Intelligence Platform (DIP)’ and ‘Chakshu (à€šà€•à¥à€·à¥)’, a pioneering initiative empowering citizens to proactively report suspected fraud communication. “Sanchar Saathi” portal has helped successfully tackle such attacks. The two portals- DIP and Chakshu, these tools will further appreciably enhance the capacity and ability to check any kind of cyber security threat. Digital Intelligence Platform (DIP) developed by the Department of Telecommunications is a secure and integrated platform for real time intelligence sharing, information exchange and coordination among the stakeholders. Chakshu (à€šà€•à¥à€·à¥) is the latest addition to the citizen centric facilities already available on the Sanchar Saathi portal of DoT. This facilitates citizens to report suspected fraud communication received over call, SMS or WhatsApp with the intention of defrauding like KYC expiry or update of bank account/payment wallet/SIM/gas connection/electricity connection, sextortion, impersonation.


      The government has been persistently making efforts to check cyber-frauds under the secure India project, at three levels- National, Organisational and Individual.

      In case, a citizen is already a victim of cyber-crime or financial fraud, it is advised to report at cyber-crime helpline number 1930 or website https://www.cybercrime.gov.in of Government of India.
