​Hyderabad: Director General of Police Anurag Sharma on Monday asked officials of the BSNL, Telangana State Technology Services (TSTS) and National Informatics Centre (NIC) to speed up the works pertaining to the Crime and Criminal Tracking Network and Systems (CCTNS).

The CCTNS is a Mission Mode Project under the National e-Governance Plan of the Government of India in which data pertaining to more than 14,000 police stations and 6,000 offices of senior police officers across the country would be brought under one application.

It would benefit in exchange of information across the country and works as an enhanced tool for investigation by the Police Department. During a high-level State-empowered committee meeting at his office with senior police officials of the State, and officers from BSNL, NIC and TSTS, DGP Sharma reviewed the status of the project.

Expressing his dissatisfaction over the delay in upgradation of cabling works for the project, the DGP asked the BSNL staff to speed up the process of replacing the new optical fibre cables in all the police stations of East and West Cyberabad Police Commissionerate limits.

The DGP also asked the TSTS and NIC officers to complete the works before March 2017, as enough funds would not be available after that. Later, Additional DG (Technical Services) Ravi Gupta gave a presentation on the data digitisation works in the department.

He said that almost 86 per cent of the work had been completed and pending work was related to remote police stations. He also cited the frequent underground works in Hyderabad and Cyberabad for the delay in completing the cabling works for the CCTNS.

Gupta said that post-bifurcation, the State police had received 3,28,480 petitions through the application and 2,67,407 FIRs had been noted down. As per the records, as many as 8,072 history-sheeters were living in Telangana.

Later, the DGP also reviewed implementation of the Interoperable Criminal Justice System (ICJS), one of the pilot projects that was allotted to Telangana by the Centre. The ICJS is being introduced with an objective to facilitate delivery of justice by digitising and interlinking the data exchange among the courts, police, prosecution, forensic, prison, juvenile justice and finger printing system.
