The Pondicherry Police will also modernize itself with the requisite equipment and machinery to meet the needs of today’s society and will, with the help of advances in information technology, march towards e-governance to provide rapid assistance to people in need. The well-being of police staff is discussed and all efforts to promote a safe and good lifestyle are made. The due focus should be placed on adequate preparation in order to develop the capabilities of the police force.
Police in Puducherry has launched a citizen portal to allow online complaints to be registered without visiting police stations in Puducherry’s Union territory. In addition to vehicle inquiry facilities, citizens can also use other essential services such as tenant identification, staff, domestic assistance and paying visitors, obtaining character certificates, and demanding permission to conduct gatherings, shows, marches, processions, and strikes. Online, they can monitor the status of their grievances.
Individuals have to register on the website and get a username and password to access online services. To register, they must have recognized proof of identification (driving license, PAN card, gun license, passport, ration card, and voter card) among others. The portal will direct individuals to register their names and receive a password and user name.
WHAT IS E-FIR?
The complaint simply means a complaint against any person, either verbally or in writing, that he has committed an offense to be made before the magistrate, but does not require a police report. The First Information Report or FIR is a report written by a police officer in order to collect information about the commission of a cognizable crime.
In general, a case is filed by the person to whom the crime was committed. The FIR can be lodged by the person to whom the offense is committed, the person who knows that the offense has been committed, or the person who has seen the offense committed.
ADVANTAGES OF E-FIR
- With the aid of online FIR, as opposed to filing a case at the Police Station, people would be able to file cases quickly.
- People also feel afraid and anxious about going to the police station. They will be able to register on-line FIRs very quickly after this technique.
- Registering an online FIR would be very convenient for women if you see the atrocities faced by women.
- Police Incompetence and Evasion should not be discussed.
