The Kutumb app is an initiative to ensure timely visits to all senior citizens, ascertain the problems faced by them, and develop a solution to check that the visits are made periodically and ensure effective monitoring by supervisory officers of the police.
Earlier, the police established Senior Citizen Cells in all police districts and timely visits were made by police staff to check the security of the senior citizens. The app enables monitoring that such visits are regularly made.
