Explanation
India's first International Tourism Police Station was inaugurated at Mattancherry in Kochi district of Kerala on February 28, 2010 to cater to the needs of domestic and foreign tourists. Sporting blue uniforms instead of the usual khakis, policemen at this station would guide tourists on ways to register complaints, secure a new passport if necessary and provide help to renew visas. The station will also have details of tourist centres and route maps, besides providing booking facilities for hiring boats and taxis.
