Bhubaneswar: The second-phase cyber crime training programme of Odisha Police began at Police Bhawan here on Friday.
The programme aims at creating a pool of trained cyber experts, who can deal with such crimes.

This three-phased programme is being organised in collaboration with the UNICEF with focus on cyber offences against children, especially girls. The first-phase of the programme was held in June.
