Delhi Police has become the first police organization in the country to introduce smart card arms licenses.
The smart card and Shastra App has been formally launched by Union Home Minister Amit Shah on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the Delhi Police.
The Delhi Police Licensing unit has decided to replace the existing arms license booklet with a ‘Smart Card Arms License’.
According to police, the smart card, with inherent security features, is easy to carry and handle. It will be printed in-house after the verification of data of the arms license holders.
Smart card arms license has also been integrated with an e-beat book through mobile application Shastra App' for effective policing.
