Chandrapur Police Trace 98% of Missing Children in 5 Years Chandrapur police have successfully traced and reunited 1,155 of the 1,176 children reported missing or kidnapped in the district between 2021 and May 2026, achieving a recovery rate exceeding 98 percent. The achievement marks a significant milestone in the district’s efforts to locate missing children, with intensive search operations continuing for the remaining 21 cases. Police officials emphasized that locating every missing child remains a top priority, underscoring their commitment to resolving these cases. The success of the operation is attributed to state-wide initiatives such as Operation Shodh and Operation Muskaan, which were conducted under the guidance of the Chandrapur Police and the Women and Child Crime Prevention Department. These operations combine advanced technological tools with coordinated field actions to track missing children across district and state boundaries. Investigators rely on platforms like the TrackChild portal, the Crime and Criminal Tracking Network and Systems (CCTNS), CCTV footage, mobile phone location analysis, and technical intelligence to gather critical evidence. Collaboration with law enforcement agencies in other states has also been pivotal in tracing children who may have traveled outside Maharashtra. To strengthen their response, every police station in Chandrapur district has established a dedicated Missing Persons Cell. These cells are responsible for collecting intelligence, conducting technical investigations, and coordinating search efforts. The Anti-Human Trafficking Unit (AHTU) has played a key role in the rescue operations, highlighting the multifaceted approach to addressing child disappearances.#cctns #chandrapur_police #operation_shodh #operation_muskaan #trackchild_portal
165 Women Cops Use AI to Streamline Complaint Registration in Nagpur In a groundbreaking initiative, 165 female police officers from Zone 4 stations in south and east Nagpur have adopted AI-powered tools to expedite the registration of routine complaints. Launched on International Women’s Day by Zonal DCP Rashmitha Rao, the system leverages voice-to-text technology and integrates with WhatsApp and other free AI platforms to automate administrative tasks. This innovation has drastically reduced the time required to process complaints and records, cutting the process from 30-60 minutes to just 2-4 minutes. The initiative, spearheaded by Joint CP Navinchandra Reddy, addresses longstanding challenges such as font compatibility issues in the CCTNS (Crime and Criminal Tracking Network & Systems) by enabling officers to dictate case details via WhatsApp. This has streamlined the creation of entries for non-cognisable offences, theft reports, missing property cases, arrest memos, and attendance logs. Previously, manual data entry caused delays, errors, and long queues for citizens, while also diverting officers from core policing duties. Complainants now receive instant printed acknowledgments, reducing paperwork and allowing officers to focus on preventive measures and investigations. DCP Rao highlighted persistent administrative delays during performance reviews, prompting police inspector Kailash Deshmane to develop a cost-effective AI workflow using existing tools. After a successful pilot at Nandanvan police station, the system was expanded to other Zone 4 stations, including Sakkardara, Imamwada, and Hudkeshwar. The training program, tailored for women personnel, empowers even those less familiar with keyboards to handle CCTNS entries independently.#nagpur #whatsapp #zonal_dcp_rashmitha_rao #joint_cp_navinchandra_reddy #cctns
