The Indian Railways has taken a great step on Thursday by launching a new website and mobile application that allow passengers from across the country to register their complaints. The step would allow the Railway Police to address complaints of passengers from across India and carry out crime detection processes by integrating the criminal database online. The official website for the same will be - railways.delhipolice.gov.in, and the mobile application is known as Sahyatri. Both the platforms were launched by Union minister Nityanand Rai in the presence of Delhi Police Commissioner Amulya Patnaik and other officials at the NDMC Convention Centre on Sansad Marg in New Delhi.
