Karnataka police makes attendance app mandatory amid concerns over irregular working hours
The move is aimed at improving punctuality, accountability and monitoring of police personnel deployed on field duties
The Karnataka police have implemented a mandatory attendance tracking system via the government's 'Kartavya' app for all officers and personnel. Director General and Inspector General of Police M.A. Saleem directed unit heads to ensure compliance and monitor adherence to the system. The Kartavya app, which has been modified to accommodate the irregular working hours of police personnel, includes options such as 'On Other Duty' to allow personnel engaged in various official assignments to record their attendance.
Despite previous issues with app usage due to non-conventional working hours, the department has taken steps to ensure that all police personnel can mark their attendance accurately using the app. Failure to comply could result in disciplinary action.
