“At present, all the countries are trying to get rid of cybercriminals. Information about the correct and safe operation of the internet, mobile and digital platforms has to be conveyed to each and every person. The youth will have to come forward in this. Those people who do not have knowledge of cyber security will have to be informed about the standards of keeping personal data safe,” he added.
Ranchi MP Sanjay Seth explained his experience as a Ranchi resident during his visits. He said initially people would not recognize the city, but after Dhoni, people outside Jharkhand associated Ranchi with Dhoni. However, now people associate Ranchi and Jharkhand with Jamtara.
