In a significant advancement aimed at enhancing citizen safety through technological and digital innovation, the state government unveiled an advanced safety module on Odisha Yatri on Monday.
Deputy Chief Minister Pravati Parida announced that this initiative marks India’s first state-owned integrated safety and mobility platform. She emphasized that it represents a step towards creating a safer, smarter, and more interconnected Odisha by consolidating mobility and public safety services onto a single reliable platform.
The Deputy CM further explained that the newly launched safety module is integrated with Odisha Police and the national emergency response system, 112, allowing users to request immediate assistance through real-time location-based alerts during emergencies.
This safety module features the One-Tap SOS function, enabling users to quickly send emergency alerts along with their live location to Odisha Police and designated contacts.
Additionally, the gesture-activated SOS feature permits users to request help simply by shaking an Android device or tapping the back of an iPhone, ensuring assistance is available even when direct access to the screen is not feasible.
The platform also supports real-time location sharing and includes extra features such as an emergency siren and ambient audio recording.
