I Click, an initiative by the state police to allow citizens to lodge complaints without having to visit a police station, will be inaugurated by Director General of Police J.V. Ramudu here on Wednesday.

The I-Click kiosks, to be unveiled by the DGP at the RTC Bus Station complex and Sankar Vilas Centre in Guntur on Wednesday, can be used round the clock. All that complainants need to do is to walk into a kiosk, type in their complaints or record it on the microphone. An emergency link to the Police Control Room will enable the police to get in touch with the complainant.I-Click complainants will get an acknowledgement slip along with an SMS alert (in case he or she provides a mobile number). The I-Click initiative has been piloted by Inspector General of Police N. Sanjay in the Guntur range of the police. Guntur Urban SP S.S. Tripathi reviewed the functioning of the two kiosks .
