Book ecompliant - Kiran Badi
If the police refuse to register a complaint, log on to www.saferindia.com and file an e-complaint. The Safer India webmaster will forward the complaint to the State police headquarters concerned for action,” said Dr Kiran Bedi, country’s first woman Indian Police Service officer, here on Wednesday. Launching the Coimbatore chapter of Safer India at Dr GRD College of Science, Bedi who took VRS and floated the portal under the project ‘Mission Safer India’ earlier this year, assured that every registered e-complaint would be taken up within 48 hours.
“The web master will also forward the copy of the complaint to the complainant and to the volunteers of Safer India in the region. The volunteers would then visit the police station on behalf of the complainant,” she said. The idea is not to get many complaints but create awareness that if the police do not register a complaint, Safer India will, she said and added that this was a gesture which would promise citizens a power like never before.
She pointed out that most of the complaints do not see light because it lies “under the table” and the aim of Safer India is to put the complaints “on the table”. “Once this movement takes flight, police will start registering complaints because they know that otherwise volunteers of Safer India will approach them. Gradually the crime rate would go down and India will become a lot more safe,” she hoped.
