The application will auto-generate alerts and SMS will be sent to the District Police Officer (DPO), Regional Police Officer (RPO), Inspector General of Police (IGP) and the chief secretary.
Moreover, the details including registration of FIR, starting of investigation, dispatching of the team, evidence collection and completion of investigation would also be added to the dashboard of District Police Officer (DPO)
This application will also help in developing a directory of all the cases of missing children at the provincial level and can be monitored by the Chief Minister and Chief Secretary as well.
