[h=1]In an emergency? Dial 112 for help of any kind[/h]October 02, 2015 17:34


India will soon get a single emergency contact number -- 112 -- similar to 911 in the United States. The Department of Telecommunications has approved the proposal of the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India for a single emergency number across the country. The existing emergency numbers -- 100, 101, 102 and 108 -- will continue to exist as secondary numbers. If you dial any of them, you will be re-routed to 112. "These numbers will be closed in a phased manner (following a public awareness campaign),' the DoT said in its response to the telecom regulator.
