Pondicherry
By Our Staff Reporter
PONDICHERRY, AUG. 12. A Rs. 1 crore POLNET (Police Network) system will be introduced soon in Pondicherry linking it with police stations in metropolitan cities across the country for speedy communication and investigation of inter-State crimes, Senior Superintendent of Police (Law and Order), Sunil Garg has said. He told newsmen here today he said that in the first phase of modernisation, the department had completed the process of computerisation and installation of information kiosks at various points, web cameras and supply of photocopiers to all police stations. The next stage would see installation of the Wide Area Network (WAN) to interlink police stations within the Union Territory for exchange of information, assessment of investigation status and other detection related details. The names and particulars of senior citizens (for all practical purposes those above 50 years are treated as senior citizens by the department) were being finalised. This was to ensure that the area police regularly contacted elderly people living alone. Mr. Garg said that a 20-member team of IPS officers attached to the National Police Academy, Hyderabad were on a two-day visit to Pondicherry under the `Bharath Darshan' programme. They were briefed on the system of policing here.
