Punjab: The Punjab government has decided to set up a rapid rural police response system — on the pattern of urban areas — to reduce police response time to distress calls in rural areas by providing state-of-the-art networking of GPS-fitted and manned vehicles with the district control rooms.

With this, Punjab will become the first state in the country to have a police on call system in rural the areas as well, Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal said.
