"With the changing times, latest techniques of policing should be adopted to deal with the new challenges of cyber crime and terrorism," state Home Minister Nasir Aslam Wani said on Friday.

He was addressing 835 recruit constables at the 10th attestation-cum-passing out parade at Police Training School, Manigam, 35km from here.

"To deal with the new challenges, the (police) department has to increase its proficiency in the field of training, investigation, intelligence and other network," Wani said.
