MUMBAI 11 JANUARY 
THE Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has issued a  `red
alert' against all network security software developed in the US. And the
Central Vigilance Commissioner, N Vittal, is following up on the warning - he
might make it mandatory for all Indian banks and financial institutions to buy
only software developed in India.
