SafeStay AP App launched to make accommodation safer, strengthen emergency response

The Andhra Pradesh Police Department launched the SafeStay AP app on Tuesday, September 22, 2026, to enhance safety and streamline emergency response for accommodation providers and users in the state.

Through the app, citizens can discover verified accommodations, view property details, make bookings, and seek SOS assistance during emergencies. Accommodation providers can register their properties, manage bookings, and update guest information digitally.

The platform connects law enforcement agencies with real-time information on guests and live occupancy details, improving information visibility, verification, and safety-related response. It aims to create a transparent and digitally connected accommodation ecosystem, enabling informed choices for citizens, efficient operations for providers, and quicker access to relevant information for the police.

LINQ GroupBy: The Operator Everyone Uses Wrong

LINQ GroupBy: The Operator Everyone Uses Wrong GroupBy in LINQ looks like SQL GROUP BY . It isn't. At least, not in the way you'd expect.

  • LINQ GroupBy differs from SQL GROUP BY, returning IGrouping objects instead of aggregated rows.
  • Combine GroupBy with Select for SQL-like results, enabling aggregation and computed values.
