"They can download the form via our police portal or they can go to the nearest police station and obtain the form before handing it over to our personnel," he said. "I understand that there are those in the villages who are not able to download the forms via the Internet, which is why I have prepared the necessary form and have ordered all my district police chiefs to conduct a campaign and distribute the forms.
