CM Stalin Launches QR Code-Based Emergency System for Passenger Safety
Chief Minister M K Stalin launched a QR code-based emergency response system in Chennai to enhance passenger safety, especially for women and children, in auto rickshaws, cabs, and car rentals. The Greater Chennai Police has generated 88,859 unique QR codes for autos and share autos, which will be placed behind the driver`s seat for easy scanning.
By scanning the QR code and pressing the SOS button, passengers can instantly alert the police control room with real-time location, driver details, and vehicle information. The system ensures swift police response, especially during night travel or solo rides. The police have also integrated Rapido, Ola, and Uber`s emergency alerts with their control room for immediate action.
The launch event at the Secretariat was attended by Ministers K Ponmudy and PK Sekarbabu, Chief Secretary N Muruganandam, and Chennai Police Commissioner A Arun.
