GURGAON: After launching Gurgaon police pages on Facebook and Twitter, Gurgaon police commissioner launched a WhatsApp messenger service on Monday as part of the Citizen Connect initiative.
Mittal said that the launch is an attempt to bring greater transparency in police's relationship with the residents. "The new service will strengthen Gurgaon Police's existing social presence across Facebook and Twitter," Mittal said.
Police said that they believe that the number of WhatsApp users are much higher than people using Facebook or Twitter, so it will help to directly connect with more people. "By saving the number +91-8586976050 on their smartphones, residents can send messages, upload pictures and videos through WhatsApp to report corruption across government departments, harassment by any government officer, cases of crime and illegal activities."
