JAMMU: The J&K Information Technology Department today held a review meeting under the chairmanship of its Secretary to assess and strengthen the Union Territory’s digital infrastructure, with emphasis on cloud services (Meghraj) and cybersecurity.

The meeting focused on bolstering the MeghRaj Cloud's efficiency and reliability, directing for the smooth operations, business continuity and high availability for government apps. A streamlined mechanism now ensures timely reporting and resolution of service disruptions.
