The citizens of Odisha can now lodge their complaints with police directly through the citizen portal, a facility launched by Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik in Bhubaneswar on Saturday.
“There is no need to visit any police station or higher police officers. The citizens can log on directly to the citizen portal and submit online complaints to the police stations through internet,” Mr. Patnaik said.
The services, which can be afield through the citizen portal, are issuance of character certificates, permission for taking out processions and rallies, issuance of FIR copies, permission for holding events and performances, permission for holding protests and strikes.
Tenants’ verification, employees’ verification, registration of missing permissions and registration of lost property can also be done through the portal.
