Crime-tracking system reviewed in Ladakh
Jammu, February 1
Adviser to the LG of Ladakh, Pawan Kotwal, reviewed the implementation of the Crime and Criminal Tracking and Network System (CCTNS) in the Union Territory.
Ladakh DIG Sheikh Junaid Mehmood apprised the Adviser that although this system was conceptualised in 2009 and launched across India in 2012, Ladakh had to start setting up the mechanism from scratch as a new UT in October 2021 with support from a technical consultant.
Ketan Surve, Senior Technical Consultant, KPMG, apprised the meeting that during the establishment of CCTNS Ladakh Project, UT had migrated the historical case data (2016 to 2019) from the J&K CCTNS offline systems to eventually establish Ladakh’s system. The meeting was informed that Ladakh has now adopted a cloud-based state-of-the-art solution to host the CCTNS server.
CCTNS is a project introduced by the Ministry of Home Affairs to interlink all police stations under a common application software to facilitate investigations, data analysis, research, and policy-making, in addition to providing online citizen services such as reporting and tracking of complaints.
The meeting also deliberated upon the status of various POCSO cases dealt with under the Investigation Tracking System for Sexual Offence (ITSSO), a feature under CCTNS. Over 53 sites, including 11 police stations and other higher offices, are being covered under this system, with nine online services activated in Ladakh such as complaint, FIR copy, character certificate, employee verification, tenant verification, event performance, vehicle enquiry, missing person search and missing child.
