Kashmir Observer Nov 7 Issue

Baramulla Police on Thursday launched Jammu and Kashmir's first-of-its-kind digital safety application to ensure quick emergency response and strengthen citizen security.

The “Baramulla Safety App” allows residents to send SOS alerts that reach police within five seconds, enabling real-time monitoring and immediate action by duty officers.

Deputy Commissioner (DC) Baramulla, Minga Sherpa, while addressing a joint press conference with SSP Baramulla Gurinderpal Singh, said the initiative bridges the communication gap between citizens and authorities.

“In critical situations, calls to officials often go unanswered. This app ensures that the moment an SOS button is pressed, within five seconds a dashboard opens with user details, and the concerned officer is bound to respond,” he said.
