The Maharashtra Home Guards has developed a web-based application to ensure transparency in deployment of its personnel, a top official has said.
The app will also help in identifying and weeding out black sheep in the force, the official said.
According to the official, the application will ensure that no favouritism takes place in allotment of duty to the Home Guards jawans.
"The work on developing the in-house application began in February this year and is now almost complete. During its trial, the app was found to be satisfactory. It will be officially commissioned in the coming weeks," the top official said.
Talking to PTI, Director General of state Home Guards Sanjay Pandey said, "Considering some lacunae prevailing in the department, we decided to take help of technology and develop our own software that will not only centralise the task of online reporting and deployment across Maharashtra, but also bring transparency in it."
