 "Govt working on mechanism to 'lock' child pornographic sites")
Women and Child Development Ministry is working on a mechanism to "lock" websites containing child pornographic materials and is also developing standard operating procedures (SOPs) to curb abusive material.
These formed the part of a consultation held today on National Alliance against Sexual Abuse of Children in the Cyber Space.
The meeting was attended by representatives from Home Ministry, Department of Information & Technology, Delhi Police and NGOs.
