Representative imageLUCKNOW: Don’t worry if you lose your belongings, forget a parking spot or want to visit a specific ‘akhara’ during a visit to Kumbh. An app developed by UP Police would guide you to everything you need.
Known as UP COP, the app will be available for download through the website kumbhmelapolice.gov.in. Both the website and the app will be launched by UP DGP soon.
It was decided to create an app for Kumbh Mela because during Kumbh, visitors face trouble in hunting for hotels/lodges, routes to reach the bus stop and railway station and in finding their way on the mela ground. For complaints of missing children or lost phones or valuables, an FIR and report can be lodged in the control room using the app. The control room will be linked to Kumbh police website. The website will display information on lost and found articles and missing people.
The app will also have information on police outposts and police stations along with phone numbers of officials to be contacted during emergency. Information on other tourist destinations, places of interest, availability and routes of public transport too will be available on the app.
