JAMMU, Jan 18: All weather communication network is necessary for Jammu and Kashmir Police to ensure quick response to exigencies. Besides conventional system of communication, a reliable and trusted alternate mechanism should be put in place to act swiftly in case of any calamity.
This was stressed by Director General of Police (DGP), K. Rajendra Kumar, while inspecting the Hi-Tech Dial 100 System established in Police Control Room (PCR) Jammu here today. He said that with the introduction of the system, response time for redressal of grievances is reduced besides helping to minimise crime and provide security to the people.
The DGP informed that 40 PCR vans have been included in the advanced system for Jammu City and its adjoining areas for meeting any exigency and grievance of the people. Movement of vehicles is also monitored through new system and global positioning system (GPS) is also installed in the Hi-Tech Dial 100 System, the DGP added.
During the inspection, Mr. Rajendra spent hours with the technical staff to get feedback about the new system. He interacted with them and discussed steps for improvement of the system. He also interacted with the officers in different police stations and police posts, besides monitoring the traffic movement in various parts of the city.
Later, the DGP convened a meeting of officers and discussed the important issues regarding improving communication networking in the Zone. He said that in view of the recent terrorist attacks at Udhampur and Pathankot, strong communication system has become more imperative to tackle the situations more efficiently and ensure security of the people. He said it has been experienced that during exigencies particularly in calamities, conventional network does not work properly, disrupting the communication system and creating panic among the masses. In such situation alternate system of communication should be put in place to ensure quick response towards the public calls for their help.
