Earlier, the Odisha Government had launched a single emergency helpline number ‘112’ to provide immediate assistance to people in distress.
People used to dial 100 (police), 101 (fire), 102 (ambulance), 104 (coronavirus), 108 (disaster) and 181 (women helpline) and 1089 (child helpline) for emergency help and they were having difficulties in remembering these numbers. A single emergency number will be easy to remember and people in distress would get faster response.
