Mobile app for senior citizens enrolment under SCSC to be launched soon
The commissionerate police is going to launch an online enrolment facility i.e. a mobile app for senior citizens to enroll themselves under senior citizen security cell (SCSC). It will make their lives easy as they would not be required to take the pain of visiting police stations. It is expected to be launched within a few weeks as the application is almost in final stage. Currently, the senior citizen security cell scheme covers 20 police stations in Bhubaneswar and has registered over 4000 lonely senior citizens. While each cell is headed by a nodal officer in the rank of either sub-inspector or assistant sub-inspector, literate constables have been assigned as assistant nodal officers. The Police Commissioner, Y B Khurania said, "We will shortly give a bike and smart phone to each nodal officer. Their smart phones will have details of the enrolled senior citizens and photographs." The assistants are required to regularly visit houses of senior citizens and supervise their safety measures.
