New Delhi: In a bid to minimise physical contact between Police and visitors, RK Puram Police Station on Tuesday have put in place a comprehensive sanitisation mechanism to ensure the safety of cops amid the rising number of COVID-19 cases in the national capital.
Police have installed a two-way video-audio monitoring system, a DRDO approved sanitising machine for documents, a sanitisation tunnel, an instrument to capture image & temperature of the visitor.
"As coronavirus cases are increasing, our police personnel are in danger. So we thought of some innovative and out of box ideas to save the police from the virus. We have set up some precautionary measures through which people coming to the police station do not have to come in contact with police personnel," Rajesh Sharma, Inspector, RK Puram Police Station.
"In the process, a camera-audio monitoring system has been installed, through which people visiting the police station have to press a button and then a picture and temperature of the person will be sent to police sitting inside the building. Even the reason for coming to the police station is asked and if the issue can be solved right there, then people need not to enter the police station" he added.

Delhi's COVID-19 case count reached 22,132, with 1,298 new cases in the last 24 hours; the total death toll is 556, said Delhi Health Department on Tuesday.
