Most people avoid visiting a police station, irrespective of how innocuous the reason may be. However, there are several legal formalities that every citizen is duty-bound to complete, for example registration of a tenant or a domestic help. To help the resident save time on repeat visits and avoid hassles, the Haryana Police have now revamped their website and made available online at least eight new services, including tenant verification, domestic help verification and character certificate.
The residents will have to log on to the website http://haryanapoliceonline.gov.in/login.aspx and go to the citizen login. A registered mobile number is mandatory to create a citizen login. Following that, the user can put in a request for any of the over a dozen services after which the user will get a receipt and that will be used in future to track the status. The updated website offers, apart from putting in a request for tenant or domestic help verification, request for issuance of character certificate, permission to organize an event, verification of an employee, permission to take out a procession or organize a protest demonstration, verification of a private security agency and requests to take out a procession and organize a protest or strike. It was already possible to file an application seeking information under the RTI Act, or register your hotel or cyber cafe with the police, report lost property etc. The new set of features are far more people centric.
The HarSamay portal is interlinked with the crime and criminal tracking network system, which is a police software, to run an online background check on any person whose verification has been sought. This is one of the most important and primary steps in the process. The portal will not only serve residents of Gurgaon but work across Haryana giving the same facilities through a nodal officer in every district or commissionerate.
