Anil deshmukh
MUMBAI: A preliminary report submitted by the Maharashtra police cyber cell on the massive power outage across Mumbai in October last year has suggested that the incident could be cyber sabotage, said state home minister Anil Deshmukh on Monday.
Deshmukh said a probe committee has found evidence of suspicious entry into the transmission system through servers of the Maharashtra State Electricity Board (MSEB). The report was submitted to the state government on Monday, said Deshmukh.
The minister’s statement came hours after reports emerged of a possible Chinese cyber attack on India’s power grid. The minister said a reputed, US-based company Recorded Future has referred to Chinese entities mounting a strike through the net on Indian electricity infrastructure, leading to cascading power failure in Mumbai. The report by Recorded Future, a firm which studies internet usage by state agencies, named a Chinese state-sponsored group called Red Echo.
Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari on Friday paid floral tributes at the equestrian statue of the great son of Maharashtra at Shivaji Park in Mumbai in the presence of Congress Minister Ashok Chavan, Mumbai Mayor Kishori Pednekar, Municipal Commissioner I. S. Chahal and other dignitaries.Lead

The move designed for the officials is also an endeavour to get to know the remote corners of the district and acquaint them with the difficulties faced by the villagers. The mandate also aims to keep the employees physically and mentally fit.
