Uttar Pradesh DGP (acting) RK Vishwakarma on Wednesday directed police stations to mention "longitude and latitude" of addresses of history sheeters in their records and get it


crossed checked. The cross-checking will be done by UP-112 (emergency response number) police teams using Google and if it is found to be incorrect, it will lead to "penal action


against the SHO (Station House Officer), a spokesperson said. "The DGP (director general of police) has directed (officials) to note down in history sheets longitude and latitude of


history sheeters," the official said. Incorrect recording of longitude and latitude will unnecessarily lead to harassment of citizens and this must be avoided, Vishwakarma said. The DGP


directed that the additional director general of police of UP-112 will randomly pick data at least one from each district and check by sending a team at the location using Google, the


police spokesperson said.
