Summary:
Tourists were simultaneously advised to get details of vehicles engaged by travel agents on the app, besides using it as a distress button.However, Dasara is already under way, and the app remains unavailable. SM Chetan, a techie from Bengaluru, confirmed to STOI that the app was not available for download. Vehicles need to be assigned a QR code for the app to be effective, but most vehicles in the city are yet to be assigned one thereby undercutting its use. In fact, city police had even organised an event to educate motorists about the app, but the entire exercise now appears to have been rendered futile. We will establish special counters for vehicle drivers so that QR codes can be assigned to all of them,” said Rao..
