Police Response System<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once an alert is triggered, the information will be forwarded to the Safe City command center, which can coordinate an immediate police response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Passenger Safety and Information Sharing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Officials said passengers will also be able to <strong>share their trip details with family members<\/strong>, improving safety during travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This feature is aimed at increasing transparency in public transport and reducing risks related to harassment, crime, or emergencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Official Statements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A Punjab Safe Cities Authority spokesperson said the system includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Call and emergency alert options<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Real-time location sharing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Vehicle verification tools<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Direct linkage to police response units<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Inspector General of Punjab Police reiterated that protecting citizens\u2019 lives and property remains the department\u2019s top priority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Managing Director of the Safe Cities Authority added that modern surveillance and rapid response technologies are being increasingly used to improve urban safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Objective of the Initiative<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The QR panic button system is part of Punjab\u2019s broader effort to modernize public safety infrastructure.
