March 06, 2015 12:00 am | Updated 05:36 am IST - SALEM:

The Government Railway Police (GRP) has introduced an Android Application called ‘GRP Help App’ for the benefit of the train passengers.

The application will enable train passengers to seek any emergency help, report crime, pass on information regarding suspicious movement of persons or objects, and also provide feedback to GRP across the country ,  on just a click of a button.

On receipt of a message or complaint, the GRP will reach the passenger at the next GRP Police Station or Outpost, record a first information report (FIR), commence investigation and alert Government Railway Police at various stations.

 This application can be downloaded free of cost from the Google Play Store and installed in the passengers’ mobiles.

A press release of Salem Railway Division issued here on Wednesday urged the travelling public to make use of this facility and help Indian Railways to ensure safe and problem-free journey.
