Deputy Chief Minister and Home Minister N. Chinna Rajappa has exhorted young girls and women to dial 119 toll free number to get immediate response from police as well as protection from eve teasers, rapists and other anti-social elements.

The novel mobile tracking system “Suraksha” was inaugurated by the Home Minister on Tuesday and it was designed and introduced by Rajahmundry Urban Superintendent of Police T. Ravikumar Murthy and Hyderabad-based Software Company Quadrivium.

Speaking on this occasion, the Home Minister said the mobile tracking system would be introduced in every district headquarters and towns in the State soon. He said Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu-led government accorded top priority to protection of women and orders would be issued to all the SPs to follow the model of Rajahmundry immediately for protection of women.

Addressing the gathering, SP Ravikumar Murthy has said “The software developed by Quadrivium will facilitate tracking of police personnel, transmission of messages and live pictures from the site at the click of a button.”

According to Quadrivium managing director K. Dinesh, live streaming of video to the control station is done using the software. Besides, silent call from the mobile to transmit the audio to the control station is also part of the system. The application is based on java and web platforms and is designed to work on Android platform.

East Godavari ZP Chairman Namana Rambabu, Rajahmundry Mayor P. Ranani Sesha Sai, MLAs Gorantla Butchaiah Chowdary, Akula Satyanarayana, and Pendurthi Venkatesh and OSD A. Ramadevi were among those present.
