Solution

The correct option is A Himachal Pradesh
Jai Ram Thakur, the Chief Minister of Himachal Pradesh, had launched the Shakti app to ensure safety and protection of women in the state. The app was developed by the National Informatics Centre (NIC) of the Himachal Pradesh government. It would be available in both Hindi and English languages and would not require internet connectivity. The app once triggered, would automatically send a message to the nearest police control room and start recording audio and video after 20 seconds.
