New Delhi: everything is as usual for submarinesinspector (S-I)
Aman Kumar braved the heat and pollution at the busy Tilak Marg crossing in central Delhi.
Except for his bulky challan book.
Over the years, this has become a feature of the traffic police --is missing.
Instead, it was a stylish handheld computer with a touch screen pen.
Time city caught up with Kumar, who happened to be the first police officer in the capital to use a handheld computer or a simple computer to challenge on the road.
He said with a smile, "We look like a sergeant now!
"The first challan using the simputer was aimed at the motorcycle rider Suresh Malik, who was a resident of Seelampur as his bike got stuck with a defective license plate.
Flashy gadgets are all set up to make the challenge process faster, simpler, and more transparent.
Built-in handheld device-
Customized software according to the requirements of the city.
Therefore, in order to replace the adjustment of carbon paper to make these tedious entries in the challan book, the police only need to use the touch screen pen, select fields such as vehicle type, registration number, etc, the driver's details, the illegal acts he was caught, etc. , and fill in the details.
The simrouter comes with a printer that can print to the immediate challenge of the driver.
Kumar says the biggest benefit of the simrouter is behind the scenes.
"After returning to the office, we need to fill out a few record books to detail the prosecution of the day.
It takes about 3-
4 hours a day, I will eventually stay up late to finish the paperwork.
With the arrival of the simrouter, the same work takes almost no seconds
"All I need to do is install a pen drive on the gadget and transfer the data to the computer," he said . ".
The efforts of another person who brought the records to the control room or instructed them by phone were also saved, as these records can now be sent by emailmail.
Even the challenges in court will be automatically filled out in the pre-trial.
Format, just need to be sent to the court.
Simputers also makes the system more transparent because challan slips are now legible and the police are not able to book any crime for you without your knowledge, just to increase their numbers, like before.
Another practical advantage, Kumar says, is the backlight, so "people can challenge even when they lose power at night ". Says JCP (traffic)
"Simputers will roll out slowly.
We start with a few so we can test response and efficiency.
But more than 100 have been purchased and they will be brought in soon.
