She Safe' app launched by Cyberabad Security Council

SCSC general secretary Bharani Kumar Aroll said the app can transmit an emergency message at the touch of a button.

Hyderabad: ‘She Safe’, an app developed exclusively for women’s safety was launched by the Society for Cyberabad Security Council (SCSC) on Tuesday. It was launched by the chairman of SCSC Cyberabad and Cybera-bad police commissioner, C.V. Anand.

SCSC general secretary Bharani Kumar Aroll said the app would transmit an emergency message at the touch of a button. “If the user hits a button on the app, a call will be forwarded to police by dialling 100. It also doesn’t need any cellular connection for making that emergency call,” he said.

Cyberabad police commissioner C.V. Anand said a dedicated desk at command will be alerted immediately after they get the alarm. “The app also forwards the location of the victim via GPS coordinates. The command control staff will also provide patrol vehicles the location of the victim,” he said.

It’s not just that. The app will also send messages to contacts on one’s phone and will also divert alerts to the Whatsapp profiles of Hyderabad and Cyberabad police.

The She Safe app is available for download for both Android and Apple operating systems. To register, one must upload a photograph and list emergency contacts. Speaking at the executive committee meeting, Mr Anand also appreciated the SCSC for installing 150 CCTV Cameras in and around the IT Corridor.

The system continues to be a key resource in the fight against crime in the city. The commissioner also praised She Shuttle buses and the SHE Shuttle app, which he said promoted safer travel in the city.
