BARAMULLA: The Baramulla Police today launched a safety application aimed at ensuring the protection and security of the most vulnerable sections of society.
The vulnerable groups include people from minority communities, PM package employees, politicians, families of terror victims, as well as labourers from outside Jammu and Kashmir working across Baramulla district.
While speaking to reporters, Deputy Commissioner Baramulla, Minga Sherpa, said the app is revolutionary in its kind.
He said the application ensures that once the SOS button is pressed by any individual from the vulnerable group fearing a threat, an alert will immediately appear on the police dashboard, and help will reach the person within two minutes.
SSP Baramulla said that so far 6,000 people have enrolled for the app, and the number is likely to increase.
Among those registered so far are 42 Christians, 132 Buddhists, 2,258 Hindus, 2 Jains, 2,232 Muslims, 609 KP migrants, 416 non-Kashmiri government and semi-government employees, 19 non-KP minority migrants, 133 protected persons, 538 non-Kashmiri employees in the private/primary sector, 566 non-KP non-migrant Sikhs, and 223 terror victim families. -(GK)
