For passengers safety, Himmat Plus integrated with Uber app

In order to ensure safety and security of commuters as well as the cab drivers, Delhi Police Commissioner, Amulya Patnaik, on Monday launched ‘Himmat Plus’ scheme integrated with Uber app at Indira Gandhi International (IGI) airport. Police said in case of an emergency, through this app, the Delhi Police Headquarters will receive the real-time location of a driver or a rider so that a police control room (PCR) van can be assigned to provide potentially life-serving assistance to distressed rider or driver.

According to Sanjay Bhatia, the Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), IGI, when an Uber drivers or rider uses Uber’s in app emergency button and if the driver or the rider wishes, Uber can now share their real-time location and other trip details with the Himmat Plus App response team for immediate support.
