India's army chief said Monday the country has taken steps against intrusive photographs of strategic installations shown on Google's satellite image service. "We concede that these satellite images do compromise our sensitive and strategic sites" Indian army chief General J.J. Singh told reporters on the sidelines of a military conference.
"We have taken steps and measures to deal with such exposures," the general said without elaborating on how the army could block access to high-resolution images posted on the web.
India's army is the fourth largest in the world.
President Abdul Kalam raised the alarm four months after the US-based search engine launched the service in June 2005.
The site contains aerial photos of the national parliament and Kalam's residence in New Delhi as well as airfields and other sensitive locations in India, where various Islamic and ethnic separatist groups are spearheading insurgent campaigns.
