These bikes will make patrolling in interior parts of the capital much easier and will also bring quick police action
In a bid to curb street crime the Delhi police on Tuesday launched a fleet of motorcycles known as Raftar which will patrol the streets of the national Capital.
Cases of snatching as per statistics might not have been on a rise, however, the menace of street crime is gradually crippling the national Capital. Recently a woman who was out for a morning walk fell prey to two biker borne assailants. With the coming of these bikes patrolling in interior parts of the capital would become much easier.
The modified bikes will have GPS tracker. In fact, the bikes will be under the police control room and will serve as first respondents to any situation. The motorcycles will be a better answer to the Delhi traffic. They will be able to reach any spot much faster.
"In crowded areas, these Motor Cycles could reach the spot faster than the bigger vehicles," said police.
The main objectives of the Raftaar patrols are a quick police action, reduce the reaching time etc.
Home minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday flagged off the Raftar motorcycles at an event in India gate.
Currently, there are 2028 motorcycles allotted to different districts of Delhi Police. One motorcycle in each police station is connected with the CPCR (Central Police Control Room). Calls are being transmitted to them by the CPCR.
In crowded areas, these Motor Cycles could reach the spot faster than the bigger vehicles, police added.
These motorcycles have been modified with unbreakable front glass shield for the safety of the rider. The helmets have additional space inside for bluetooth, earpiece etc, police said.
Each Raftaar motorcycle will be equipped with handheld walkie-talkie connected with District Control Room and will receive distress calls through this mode.
Singh rewarded women police officers as well as public women who have significantly contributed to promoting women's safety in the national Capital, said police.
The programme also included a short film on Women's Safety, a self-defence demonstration by girls of the age group of 10 to 12 years, and a short film on "Raftaar".
