The police have introduced an e-beat system at the field level using technology to ensure safety of senior citizens staying alone with no support at remote places. A case of murder of an elderly couple who stayed alone at Allinagaram a couple of months ago had prompted the police to take the initiative, say the police. They identified 53 houses of senior citizens residing alone in Perambalur district which has eight law and order police stations in Perambalur and Mangalamedu sub divisions besides an all women police station. The e-beat system has been introduced with an app which the field-level beat constables have downloaded in their respective mobile phones and QR code stickers in the size of a A-4 paper having been pasted at the 53 houses, says the Superintendent of Police, Perambalur, S. Mani adding that the system was introduced a week ago. Upon reaching the houses of senior citizens residing alone, the beat constables would open the app and scan the QR code which would provide details of the person including their name and the village besides the jurisdictional police station. The beat constables would interact with the elderly persons for some time to build a sense of security among them and try to address their immediate needs that could be done by them.
