No emergency situation comes with a warning. You need to be prepared and stay alert all the time to overcome any emergency situation. The following list of helpine numbers assist you to go through any emergencies in the best possible way.
In February 2019, a pan-India emergency helpline number – 112 was launched. This single number for emergency services is similar to ‘911’ in the United States.
The ‘112’ helpline is an integration of police (100), fire (101) and women (1090) helpline numbers and the project is being implemented under the central government’s Nirbhaya Fund.
‘112 India’ all-in-one emergency helpline mobile app
The ‘112’ India app provides for ‘shout facility’ designed especially for women, for enlisting support of volunteers, who have registered themselves with the state police, for emergency response.
To access emergency services, a person can dial ‘112’ on a phone or press the power button of a smart phone three times quickly to send a panic call to the Emergency Response Centre.
In case of a normal phone, a long press of the ‘5’ or ‘9’ key will activate the panic call.
