Goa Police Uses App to Aid Tourists, Improve Communication
Imagine you're a tourist in Goa, and you need help, but you don't speak the local language.
Now, Goa police are using a special app, like a translator in your pocket!
This app, called Bhashini, helps the police talk to people who speak different languages, including many Indian and some foreign ones.
It translates what they say in real time.
This way, police can understand what tourists and locals need and respond more quickly.
It's like having a universal translator, making it easier to help everyone and keep them safe.
It was launched in January and has been downloaded by police stations, the PCR, the Pink Force, and tourist police personnel.
