The Madurai crew is in full swing works to wide-spread the use of exclusive software that will prevent accidents, robbery and other crimes in places across Tamil Nadu.
The crime rate in big cities like Madurai is on the rise. These criminal acts can be brought under control only if the criminals themselves take efforts to stop such activities. Students who have completed technical studies show huge interest in omitting such criminal acts with the help of latest technology.
A crew headed by Dhinesh Pandiyan including Senthil, Vaishnavi and Aandal had created a mobile app called Madurai City App. This can be used to send instant information to the police officials regarding dangerous situations they come across.
A special Crime Prevention Team is set up at the Madurai Police Commissioner’s Office. This app comprises of four features including
· Life-saving feature
· Complaint through messages
· Traffic update
· Name and contact details of inspector and other higher officials with the police department
Android mobile users can make use of this app. They can download it from Google Play Store via Facebook. Users need to get the download link from Play Store and do the download via Facebook.
This mobile app facility was introduced in Madurai last month. There are 2330 users for this app now. About 400 information and complaints are received through this app so far. With the cooperative efforts of the police, this app will also be made available in other cities across Tamil Nadu.
This facility will be a success only if the policemen are cooperative. We are in talks with police officials in other cities other than Madurai.
In the year 2014, a similar facility was introduced in Mumbai. However, the complaints were sent only to the respective police station. As the information was restricted with the inspector, higher officials had no chance of getting to know about it. Our app however enables complaining about police officials and commissioner to the S.P. himself. No complaint can be hidden anymore.
