Have you ever wondered how much useful Facebook is becoming to public services ? It is big , millions of organizations have created an account on facebook just to increase their productivity. In India, police have been using it as big source to get catch of crime in the city. We have already discussed how Gurgoan police has started page on facebook, an initiative to control crime. Now even the Meerut Traffic Police has opened a page on facebook.
SP of Meerut traffic police was very happy on the launch of the page. This allows direct communication with the public, what better than Facebook for interaction ?
Public is requested to like the page and be an active member on the facebook platform. Suggestions, complaints and evidences against police officials are allowed directly but with audio or video evidences.
The page from Gurgoan police on facebook is frequently updated and updates on traffic is given to the public. Hope this also works out fine.
These things will only work in India if the offenders are punished severely else it just another scrap facebook page.
