Addressing all the people present at the launch programme, he said that QR codes will be installed in all the police stations of Gurugram to make the police action more effective.

Under this unique initiative, QR codes will be installed in all the police stations of Gurugram, by scanning which the visitors coming to the police station will be able to share the rating of the work of the police and their suggestions digitally.

Visitors, victims or complainants coming to the police station for police assistance will be able to give their feedback related to police action or assistance by scanning this QR code, the police officer said.
