Now, people in distress can approach Delhi Police through Twitter

Delhiites in distress can now approach police, and even the top city cop, through Twitter with the launch of three Twitter handles by Delhi Police on Tuesday.

While one of the accounts will be the personal handle of Delhi Police Commissioner B S Bassi (@BhimBassi), the other shall be the official handle of his office (@CPDelhi). The third handle shall be that of the central control room (@DelhiPolice), said police.

“Any person in distress can send tweets or text messages at the third handle. However, if it is a case of emergency, it is always suggested that the distress caller should dial 100 for the quickest response,” said B S Bassi.
