GUWAHATI: The Social welfare Department and the 181 women helpline will soon launch an application – ‘Eye-Watch’ to help women fight against crimes in times of emergency.
The GPS-enabled app is said to be path-breaking in addressing crimes against women.
“An individual in times of emergency simply has to shake the smart phone. Location of the victim can be traced via GPS in the phone. The information then would automatically help police and others to trace the victim. The app will soon be available in Google Play Store.

The app is on its final stages and is going through some changes. I hope women will download this app along with shopping apps as it would be equally beneficial to them,” Sarmah said.
