With just the press of a button the
R-Mitra app works both online and offline in SMS mode by making use of
the helpline 56161. As a female commuter is in any situation of danger
they can press the emergency button on the R-Mitra app. This will

sent to the nearest Railway Police Force Inspector, who may take the
adequate response. The next two stations will be alerted. This sort of
