All types of General Diary (GD) filings will be available online starting tomorrow in Sylhet Metropolitan Police (SMP) and Chandpur district, eliminating the need to visit a police station in person.
This initiative follows directives from the chief adviser as part of the government's broader efforts to streamline and simplify police services, said a Police Headquarters statement.
Until now, digital submission of GDs was limited to cases involving loss and receipt. From now on, citizens will be able to file any type of GD online from the comfort of their homes.
