Jharsuguda Police Unveils QR-Code Enabled 'Smart Auto Tracking' Initiative Under Operation Netra

Jharsuguda: Jharsuguda Police has introduced ‘Operation Netra,’ a tech-driven Smart Auto Tracking System to modernize urban transit and ensure safer public transport.

Under ‘Operation Netra,’ all registered auto-rickshaws will display unique, passenger-accessible QR codes containing verified driver details. Passengers can scan the code to instantly report emergencies, file complaints, or log lost belongings directly with the police in real-time.

The move reinforces a citizen-friendly, technology-first approach prioritizing public welfare and passenger security. The key advantages of introducing the QR-code enabled ‘smart auto tracking’ include real-time tracking, safety for women, tourists, and late commuters. Additionally, it provides a direct SOS link to police for immediate assistance.

The new services will also help police track misplaced items and recover them swiftly. Drivers will also be prevented from overcharging, deviating, or misbehaving with passengers.
