Now, AP police will monitor your house when you go on holiday

Hyderabad: Now, residents of Andhra Pradesh can leave their home and precious belongings in safe hands when they go on holiday. Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy will launch an app, AP Police Seva, on 17 September which will allow people to file a request with the police department and ask them to monitor his/her house in the absence of the family.

In major towns or urban areas, the police department will set up CCTV cameras and motion sensors at the residence of the person who has filed the request. Any person entering the house without prior intimation will automatically trigger an alarm, thereby alerting not only the local police but also the owner of the house via an SMS.

#APPolice adds yet another feather to its Cap by bagging 10 Digital Technology Sabha Awards in addition to 26 received earlier this year.
