In a first ever-live deployment in India, Bengaluru City Police (BCP) has launched a Remote Expert Government Services’ (REGS) to help citizens file a First Information Report (FIR) remotely, irrespective of the location of the jurisdiction where the offence has occurred in the city.
The kiosk was inaugurated by Karnataka Chief Minister Shri Siddaramaiah at Mantri Mall, Malleshwaram, in the presence of Shri K.
