Udhampur, Jammu - Advising the security forces and law
and order agencies not to use information on internet,
President A. P. J. Abdul Kalam said on Thursday that such
a course would prove detrimental to the national security
and suggested that the country must develop its own
operational system, and software, reports PTI

"Security forces and law and order agencies must have
their own operational system instead of the internet as
certain information, if accessed through internet and
commercially available operational systems, would prove
detrimental to national security," he said after
presenting colours to Jammu and Kashmir police at Sher-I-
Kashmir police academy here.

"We must develop operation system and software for our
own national security because there are chips which have
invisible data inside and these can be used for national
security matters", he said.

"India should make efforts to have its own operational
system which can prove better for the efficiency of the
security forces during operations in the country," he
Kalam, who is on his first visit to Jammu and Kashmir
after becoming the President. Kalam who also visited
Vishno Devi Shrine suggested that additional technologies
be inducted into state police and other security forces
like hitech computers and micro processors with faster
chips, saying these can become important modules for the
forces during operations.

He also stressed the need for co-ordination between
police of different states and security forces through
these technologies for better efficiency. Meanwhi8le,
preparations are on in full swing at Government College
for Women in Srinagar as it readies to receive President
Kalam, who will become the eight head of state to visit
the institute.

"Kalam will be the eighth President to visit our college
established 53 years ago," Principal Nusrat Andrabi told
PTI. Presidents Rajendra Prasad, Neelam Sanjiva Reddy,
Zakir Hussain, Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed, V. V. Giri, Zail
Singh and R. Venkatraman have already graced the
college", she said.

Andrabi said Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi had also
visited the college as prime ministers. She said, Kalam
would spend 20 minutes on Saturday interacting with over
1,200 students of the college.

Asked if she had put a gag on fielding political
questions to the president, Andrabi said, "No, we have
not done any such thing., But we have suggested to the
students to ask only relevant question which will
increase knowledge base."
