a novel code for the precise case. The police station close to the realm of the criticism will then have a particular QR code that may direct reviews towards the grievance kind.

We develop up listening to about so many such circumstances whereby, as a result of some corruption in a neighborhood police division, victims (principally of rapes) will not be even capable of register complaints, or the complaints being manipulated,” Nailwal mentioned in a tweet on October 12. 

It’s value noting that Polygon has up to now obtained quite a few use cases in administration across India. As an example, the Maharastra authorities introduced the usage of the Polygon blockchain to subject verifiable caste certificates.
