2013 - While the Central Intelligence Agencies have alerted the Delhi Police
about a possible attack by the LeT on our National Capital, Times Now has
learnt that the Centre’s Terror Monitoring system has completely collapsed.
Documents exclusively accessed by Times Now suggests that our Security
Surveillance System has broken down and we are still not prepared to handle the
terror threats emanating from Pakistan and elsewhere. The documents suggest
that the Centre’s ambitious Centralised Monitoring System, a project that
centralized all interception of mobile, internet and voice data under one
interface – has collapsed making the government’s centralized snooping attempt
absolutely impossible.
The documents from
the Department of Telecommunications Security Wing reveals shockingly that the
Telecom Service Providers are still not cooperating with the Law Enforcement
Agencies by not providing intercepted information in suitable formats as most of
them have still not upgraded their systems. At the moment, the Telecom
Department says that we are still not able to monitor calls of suspects who are
on roaming, even sms interception of roaming numbers it seems is out of bounds
for our Law Enforcement Agencies. The note says intercepting Skype is next to
impossible and that 3G interception can never become a reality as MTNL and BSNL
still don’t support these interceptions. The revelations are so explosive
that it even says that the Centralised Monitoring System can even not ascertain
Time of calls and it can link a terror call to a completely innocent user.
Even when the
Central Intelligence Agencies have sounded a terror alert across the national
capital, the DoT report says that the Centre’s terror monitoring system has
completely lost its sheen. While the report mentions that several loopholes in
our Security Surveillance System needs to be plugged in, the big question is
how prepared is our security establishment to tackle the terror threat emanating
from across our borders.
