Maharashtra can soon track crime, criminals at the click of a mouse
State will connect 1,039 police stations with Crime and Criminal Tracking Networking Services
The state home department is all set to connect all the 1,039 police stations with the Crime and Criminal Tracking Networking Service (CCTNS). Maharashtra could be the fist state in the country to implement the CCTNS, thereby helping police stations track information about any criminal registered in any part of the state.
Responding to the proposal of the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), the state home department has almost completed the procedure to launch the CCTNS. "The MHA has been implementing the project across the country. However, Maharashtra could be first state to roll out the project as the preparation from our side has been completed," said additional chief secretary UC Sarangi.
"We have trained 60,000 police personnel to implement the CCTNS across the state. The connectivity is already in place, we have done the hardware installation and are waiting for the hardware to be provided by the Centre. We are expecting to roll the project by March 2012," he said.
According to officials from the department, information sharing and access to criminals' details will help officials in analysing and investigating cases.
Another official from the home department said that the CCTNS will help the police department in investigation, detection and also in the administrative work. He said that it will make the administrative procedures, like passport verification, communication within the department, easy for the department.
The initiative has been launched under the e-governance project of MHA and National Crime Records Bureau. The project will connect 14,000 police stations and 6,000 administrative offices in the country.
The Centre has sanctioned Rs2,000 crore for the project in the eleventh five-year plan, of which Maharashtra received Rs85 crore. Wipro has been appointed as the system integrator.
