The police chief said the mobile app is part of citizen friendly and responsive policing. The app can ensure safety of women while travelling in taxi, cab, auto-rickshaw, bus, train or any other vehicle. "A woman just clicks the photograph or video of vehicle before boarding, notes down vehicle no., place of boarding and sends it online to police.
Even during the travel, if any problem is faced, the same can be sent. After reaching the destination, they can send the comments about the happenings during the travel," said a statement. The SOS button will be useful for accessing the police help in emergencies.
