Lahore (NUT Desk) A new App is going to be developed for digital monitoring of FIRs (from receipt of application to registration) in which receipt and registration time of case at the front desk can be seen with just one click. With the App, the delaying factors will be highlighted and those responsible for delay could be liable and departmental and legal actions against them could be taken.
In this regard IG Punjab Mr. Inam Ghani said that under Citizen Centric Policing, besides serving and protecting the citizens, ensuring free registration of crimes and immediate steps for their prevention are among the top priorities of Punjab Police.
He further said that after receiving the application for robbery, burglary and theft, those responsible for delay in registration of cases should be held accountable while Additional IG Investigation should brief about the progress made in software for provision to regional monitoring units by 1st April.
The focus is on ensuring effective monitoring of each case as well as close monitoring so that crime can be eradicated in accordance with modern policing and the performance of officers and staff can be monitored. A feature has been created in the monitoring system to get feedback from the citizens about the first responder, under which the calling citizens are satisfied with the behaviour and cooperation of the first responder, they can send their feedback by answering yes or no on SMS.
In App, the latest technology and all possible resources will be utilized along with introducing institutional reforms for prevention and control of crimes in local areas.
