2 lakh cyber attacks on power units during Operation Sindoor: Union Minister Manohar Lal Khattar | Bharat News
Srinagar: India targeted its power sector during Operation Sindoor last month, thwarting about 2 lakh cyber attacks, Union Power Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Thursday said in confirmation of the first official government of such onlogues.“With the advancement of technology, cyber attacks and cyber crimes have increased significantly. They have progressed a lot in counter and our cyber security has almost neutralized such threats,” Khattar said. He said that in the Uri Hydel project, a power line was damaged due to Pakistani shelling, but the link was repaired immediately.Khattar was speaking at a news conference in Srinagar, from Pakistan’s attacks and water treaties to debate the ideal energy-waved AC temperature.On the Indus Waters Treaty, which the Center has placed in Abhay, Khattar said that the present situation allows India to move forward with the halted power projects, which previously needed Pakistani consent. Asked about Pakistan’s warning of “dangerous consequences”, if water flows in the rivers under the treaty, Khattar said: “Pakistan was already responded to during Operation Sindor. If necessary, a strong response would follow.”Under the treaty, India had to first take the approval of Pakistan before making projects on Indus, Jhelum and Chenab. “Now, we do not need it. We are resuming the Wular Barrage Project,” Khattar announced. The Center started the project in the 1980s to regulate the water level in Kashmir in winter, when the river flowed thin, but the work was suspended in 1987 after objections to the Indus Waters Commission in Pakistan.On the initiative attack on 22 April, Khattar said that when Pakistan was supporting terrorists, the Center was now firm on not allowing terror. “Terrorism will definitely end. I would like to congratulate the people of Jammu and Kashmir because they stand together against terrorism,” he said.When asked about CPI (M) calls for a dialogue with Pakistan, Khattar denied such steps. “Terror and talk will not go together. Terror and business will not go together. Water and blood will not flow together, ”Khattar said.The Electricity Minister then switched to a fierce debate at the AC temperature. He justified the plan of his ministry that the AC temperature is not less than 20 ° C, citing energy efficiency goals around the world and about medical opinion about 24 degrees ideal temperatures.
