Cyber cell turns non-functional

Every day it is reported that some bank account has ben hacked. The Prime Minister wants all transactions paperless and to go digital, the security of the nation these days being of paramount importance. Was shocked to read headlines that due to transfer of PI Rajesh, the job investigation of around 50 pending cases in Goa will come to a grinding halt. 

One may understand why new FIRs cannot be lodged, but to find the whole department functioning stopped as reported is ridiculous in this day and age. The PM and CM at the highest level need to give utmost priority to 24x7 functioning and improvement of cyber cells. The government and its organs are primarily meant for the safety of the nation and its people. Unfortunately the agencies are used for everything else but the safety of the people first. 

Compare security provided to netas and that of the aam aadmi. The non-appointment of the Lokayukta and non-functional cell with transfer of an officer are clear examples of  the wrong priorities of the government.
