Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar on Friday inaugurated the “My Safe Pune” app, an initiative by Pune city police to ensure effective patrolling by beat marshals and offer quick response to people during any incident of crime.

The app, a brainchild of Pune Police Commissioner Amitabh Gupta, will track the movements of the beat marshals at all police stations and record various details, such as the spots they visit, along with the time of the visit during patrolling.
