MALDA, Aug 5: In order keep a proper surveillance on all Internet café the district magistrate in Malda Mr CR Das has planned to seek list of cafes from the Internet service providers. The administration has decided to know the exact number of cafés running across the district from service providers such as BSNL and other private broadband Internet service providers. The district police do not have account of exact number of cafés functioning in the district including two municipal areas. Though more than 26 café owners in Malda town have united to form an association following government decision to implement specific guidelines for surveillance of all Internet café, the English Bazaar Municipality yesterday submitted name of 13 cafes to the district magistrate. Following the media report on imposition of prohibitory order under section 144 CrPC which has already been executed in North Dinajpur district the Malda café owners are confused about such an administrative decision. Speaking to The Statesman the district magistrate Mr CR Das said: “We do not have plan to impose prohibitory order (Sec 144 CrPC) here. We would execute a proper system of surveillance of all cafes very soon based on scientific guidelines”. The North Dinajpur district magistrate has restricted entry of more than four persons altogether in a café. “Installation of Web cam is must for all café by which the café owners will have to take photographs of all surfers before using computer to maintain a permanent record for the administration,” the Malda DM said.
