Prahari app replaces British era ‘Beat Book' for keeping records within police circles
Prayagraj: The hi-tech '
Prahari app
' has replaced the colonial-era '
Beat Book
', also known as 'Gopniya Patrika', which was traditionally used to document details of religious sites, banks, historical conflicts, demographics, notable individuals, crime trends and local offenders.
All beat in-charges at police stations are now required to upload details of their beats on the app using their unique IDs.
Officials claimed that apart from maintaining the Beat Book manually, most officials are now working on the app for their routine work. Besides maintaining data and records, the app is also helping police officials to upload the verification status of arm licence holders, tenant and character verification under the citizen service scheme.
SP (Pratapgarh) Anil Kumar told TOI: "The Prahari App is a unique communication tool for policemen that helps to enhance beat policing and create effective communication between beat police officials (popularly known as halka in-charge) and higher police authorities."

Gujarat court denies maintenance to woman who willingly resigned from job
Ahmedabad: A court turned down a woman's application seeking maintenance from her husband on the grounds that she had willingly resigned from her regular job. The JMFC court in Rajkot had first rejected the woman's request for maintenance in March 2023 because she was gainfully employed. Four months after this order, she resigned from her job and filed another application seeking maintenance, but the court dismissed the second application as well. The couple engaged in the legal battle got married in 2017. While the woman is from Rajkot, the husband lives in Gandhinagar. The woman, who is a PhD holder, got a job as an assistant professor in a Gandhinagar college.
