In India, the biggest problem is that people do not report because, - Afraid of Police Stations - Prestige in society and neighborhood - No hope that something will change and others may benefit I remember that speech of Modi Ji where he said that there should be a unique website for every police station, a website dedicated to the listing of martyrs so that their names are not lost in history. But what about those who are suffering today ? Will this step of giving an online portal to citizens for making Online FIRs, not solve the basic problem of corruption in Police ? Most of the developed nations provide online filing of FIRs for speedy action by Police. This also saves the effort cost of a Police representative noting down all the details from the complainant. Overall, this might also save some money/effort for the Delhi Police. Because the work for the Police Station officers who write the FIRs will be reduced considerably. This could increase Crime Reporting to a significant extent. With the increased use of internet, this option of online filing (and also mobile apps) of FIRs will go a long way. Metros will see maximum such online FIRs being reported. more
