Chief Minister of Punjab Maryam Nawaz Sharif has just introduced a major digital governance and convenience to the people by officially opening the Punjab Police Pakistan App. This new digital project is aimed at empowering citizens who will be able to report lost necessary documents without stepping out of their homes and physically visiting law enforcement institutions, which will automatically be removed.
Seamless Reporting of Essential Documents
With this recently introduced application, citizens throughout the province will have the ability to easily file formal complaints about the misplaced or lost critical items. The online platform is now allowing the reporting of personal documents, which are considered vital such as national identity cards, passports, and driving licenses. By computerizing this initial step the government hopes to save citizens the usual inconvenience of having to visit a local police station or police service centre only to file a standard missing item report.
Doorstep Delivery of Official Police Reports
To make the whole process of complaint registration even more extraordinary, the app does not only make the complaints digital but also provides a smooth flow of the legal procedure. After a citizen manages to file a report using the application, a hardcopy of the lost report, which is also officially referred to as an FIR will be sent and handed over to the applicant at his/her registered residential address. This considerate aspect ensures that one has the required legal paperwork with him to be able to go to the office and seek document replacements with ease without the need to incur bureaucratic stalling.
