New Delhi, Aug 27 : New-age warfare can only be combated through the power of knowledge and it is imperative for our crime-fighting agencies that they equip themselves with technologies needed to ensure national security, Vice President M. Venkaiah Naidu said on Monday.

Addressing the 48th Foundation Day of the Bureau of Police Research and Development (BPRD), he said that in today's world a country can be crippled without firing a single shot or spilling even a drop of blood.

"This is the era of new-age warfare, the cyber warfare, and the new enemy can be combated only through the power of knowledge.

"Unlike the spies of the Cold War era, when collaborators would provide access to secret documents to physically copy and photograph documents, the new-age spies do not need any physical access... the hackers can suck out thousands of secret documents, jeopardising national security," Naidu was quoted as saying in a government statement here.

He said that the cyber warfare cannot be fought from inside the walls of a government agency, but through technology that transcends such boundaries.

"The set-up for combating the new enemy in cyberspace can no longer be housed within the walls of a seemingly secure single government agency. All police forces of the country have to equip themselves with the cyber forensic techniques and knowledge to counter a cyberattack or investigate a cybercrime," he said.

The Vice President emphasised that for a safe India (Surakshit Bharat), we need a competent India (Saksham Bharat).

"The knowledge and competence of our police forces and the ability to innovate, improvise and implement will be critical in strengthening national security," he said.

Several users on ‘X’ on Thursday and Friday shared claims that LPG cylinders booked at 11:45 AM were being delivered within just two hours, prompting humorous and curious reactions online. 

Meanwhile netizens quickly responded to the sudden similar bookings by many users.

One ‘X’ user tweeted, “Booked a Bharat Gas LPG cylinder at 11:45 AM today and it was delivered at my doorstep by 1:30 PM. Without any extra cash or charges. I asked the delivery guy if there was any shortage. His reply was negative. This copy is circulating 👇.”

Another user questioned the timing, asking, “How can all book at the same time?” while a separate post wondered, “Why is everyone booking LPG at 11:45 AM?”

Many netizens joked about the posts. One wrote, “Everyone is booking LPG gas cylinders at 11:45 AM, and surprisingly it’s getting delivered in two hours. IT cell has some special gas agency. Is it LPG or Naale ka Gas?” 

One urged, “Please tell these hundreds of people to book at 11:45 AM too,” sharing a photo of people standing in ques.

“Booked an Indane Gas LPG cylinder at 11:46 AM today and it wasnt delivered at my doorstep by 2:30 PM. I asked the delivery guy, why didn't he deliver. He replied cylinders were delivered only to people who booked exactly at 11:45 AM,” wrote another. 

 

One user asked, “What was the auspicious occasion to book at 11:45 AM?” while another tweeted, “I am going to book a gas cylinder at 11:45 AM tomorrow, hope Modi Ji will deliver it by 1:30.”

“I want to ask one thing… If I book an LPG cylinder tomorrow at 11:45 AM and the gas agency is unable to deliver it by 1:30 PM, will it be free like Domino’s pizza, or will I get it at some discounted price? BJP IT Cell experts, please confirm so that I can book my LPG cylinder tomorrow exactly at 11:45 AM,” said another humorously.
