The Uttar Pradesh Police are set to launch a first of its kind dial-FIR scheme in the country.
In this scheme, a common man can register regular crimes without going to a police station, by dialling the emergency number UP 100 and file a FIR, a call-based FIR.
To combat crime, an online dossier of over 1-lakh small and big criminals in the state has also been prepared.
UP is the only 2nd state to prepare such a localised online criminal database after Punjab.
A pilot project of the e-FIR has been successfully conducted in Ghaziabad region.
