JORHAT, May 30: Following a tip off that a couple were watching porn and indulging in an indecent act within an enclosure of a cyber cafe here, the police launched an operation yesterday to cleanse the cafes of pornographic material and set guidelines for viewing of material in such cafes.
A police source said that, complaints had come on and off that cyber cafes had increasingly become dens of dissolution with youngsters finding easy access to pornographic material via the internet. The police have asked all cyber cafes to remove the enclosures made of sliding wooden boards or curtains so that visibility is ensured. The owners have also been asked to keep a record of those visiting the cafes and jot down names and addresses. Last year, the police had also conducted a similar raid on the cyber cafes and arrested two schoolchildren viewing sleazy on a computer in a cafe.
The police source said that, immoral activities among the youths here had increased by way of drinking and drug use. Jorhat was no longer a clean and safe place. Children just out of school usually blackmailed their parents to buy them costly motorcycles which were driven at breakneck speed and mobiles to show off to friends. They were also usually loaded with money which they splurged in hotels or in buying costly clothes or gadgets. On a number of occasions in the last couple of years, youngsters were arrested for indecent exposure and necking in public.
The police have appealed to the parents to keep a close watch on their children and not to spoil them. THE SENTINEL
