112 to be single number for all emergencies
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.
