Indian citizens in distress will soon be able to get
help using a single number, ‘112’, for all emergency services in the
country, including the police, fire brigade and ambulance.
At
present, such callers need to dial different numbers for different
emergencies like 100 for police, 101 for fire, 102 for ambulance and 108
for emergency disaster management.
The move, recommended by the Telecom
Regulatory Authority of India in April 2015, was approved by the
Telecom Commission on Monday. “It will be rolled out within months
rather than a year,” official sources said.
