CM launched ‘Mo Saathi’, a mobile phone based application for women in distress in the twin cities of Bhubaneswar and Cuttack. Women will have to register their names before downloading the App. They will also add mobile numbers of their parents or three friends during registration. Once the users register, they will get SMS on their mobile numbers with a download link. In case of an emergency, the user can send an alert by pressing the power button. The alert would be transmitted to police control room and their parents or three friends. Police said the location of the App users can immediately be known thanks to the GPS technology.
