Guntur Police Launch Abhay Auto App
The Guntur police have launched a new app called Abhay Auto Guntur.
This app helps passengers stay safe when traveling in autorickshaws.
The app uses a special QR code that shows important information about the driver and the vehicle.
Passengers can scan this code to see details like the driver's name, vehicle number, and contact information.
The app also has an SOS button that can alert the police if there is an emergency.
It lets passengers share their live location with family and friends.
The police say this will help prevent bad behavior and make travel safer for everyone, especially women.
The app was welcomed by both passengers and drivers.
