SHILLONG, SEPT 15: The citizen portal under Crime & Criminal Tracking Network & Systems (CCTNS) project was officially launched besides flagging off the highway patrols by chief minister Mukul Sangma at the police headquarters on Thursday evening.

Home minister HDR Lyngdoh, chief secretary KS Kropha, Director-General, NCRB, New Delhi, Radhakrishna Kini, and ADGP of Meghalaya SB Singh and other police officials were also present on the occasion.

The citizen portal would enable the citizens to register their complaints or send information over the internet and they will also be able to modify or view the registered complaint and track its status online.

The portal will further be expanded to include domestic help and tenant verification, passport verification services, general service requests such as permission for processions/rallies, etc.

In due course the portal is expected to become effective vehicle of public delivery of various police services and enable responsible citizens to assist the police in prevention and detection of crimes. The URL for the portal is http://citizenportal.meghpol.nic.in/

The Highway Patrols would help to strengthen police units located along the National Highways to ensure quick and effective response particularly in the high crime prone areas and accident prone areas. These highway patrols, strategically placed along the vulnerable stretches can enable quick response by authorities to assist commuters in distress on account of accidents or crimes or medical emergencies.

Six of such highway patrols for Garo hills and another six for Khasi and Jaintia hills were flagged on the occasion.-By Our Reporter
