The state government is thinking of drafting a new law to ban pornographic websites.
Replying to a query in the Legislative Council on an Army officer being arrested in Mumbai for uploading pornographic clips of children on a website, Minister of State for Home Ramesh Bagwe announced this on Thursday.
"We are thinking of introducing an act to ban pornographic websites. We will also request the Central government to amend the existing laws to make them more stringent," said Bagwe.
On the Mumbai case, he said the police have contacted the website concerned to ensure that the clips are removed. Police teams have begun patrolling cyber cafés to monitor such activities, Bagwe added.
