Gulf Times: The first "virtual police station" will come into being in Kerala by next month, officials said yesterday. An initiative of the Kochi city police, the virtual police station will essentially be a touchscreen kiosk for providing all information needed by the public. It will handle services including informing people of the status of a complaint lodged with the police and details of the progress of a police inquiry for purposes like issuing passports.
