Kolkata: NRS Medical College and Hospital will install a firewall that will restrict access of certain websites while using the institute's internal internet, available only on desktops installed for official purposes.
As a result, social media sites, such as Facebook and Instagram, food delivery sites, OTT websites, Torrent and adult sites, will be blocked but employees will have access to govt portals, WhatsApp, emails and AI meeting sites. Such restrictions were in place at most medical colleges in the city, said an official.
"The move will protect valuable information from cyber conspiracy and prevent the misuse of internet at the college," said an NRS official.
A few departments, which give out e-prescriptions, have Wi-Fi.
