ICLIP to help women in distress in Odisha capital as 1st such

In its bid to curb the rise in crimes against women in Odisha's state capital here, the Bhubaneswar-Cuttack Police Commissionerate today introduced a unique facility named 'ICLIK', an Instant Complaint Logging Internet Kiosk.
The unique IT invention to curb crimes against women is being implemented for the first time in any city in the country.
The kiosk is operational in the Bank of Baroda ATM at A-154, Saheed Nagar (near Sparsh Hospital).
The Police Commissioner Dr R P Sharma has taken this step so as to ensure that women in the state capital are able to redress their grievances 24x7 through this unique Kiosk.

Any lady can register her complaint in either of three different ways using this Kiosk. A woman can lodge complaint either writing her complaint using the Kiosk in either of three languages such as: English, Hindi and Odiya or she can also lodge complaint through voice command.
Another way of registering complaint is sending the scanned copy of the written complaint using the ICLIK Kiosk.

Once the complaint gets registered, she will get a receipt of her complaint from the Kiosk itself, Sharma said.
This unique system has been conceptualized and patented by Joydeep Nayak, IGP, Odisha.
DCP Bhubaneswar Nitinjeet Singh, said that the response of the Police will be immediate through the modern Control Room and the PCR Vans. "This women-friendly concept is to make the fair sex feel safe in Odisha and enhance their convenient interface with the police," the DCP said.

Odisha Computer Application Centre (OCAC) has been the pioneer in implementing the technology.
