Continuing, the DG&IGP suggested the Police to inform about the action taken to every registered case to the complainant and work in such a way that innocent persons do not face problems by implementing door-to-door Police system besides asking them to help senior citizens, those staying alone and protect women and children.

Instructing the Cops to be in touch with at least one person of a family, collect information about the happenings in their surroundings and take steps to prevent any untoward incidents from taking place, the DG&IGP said that this will also help in prevention and detection of crime. That is why door-to-door Police system was implemented at Mysuru in the past, he added.
