112 will be India's 911 :TRAI

[XPosed]

A single number '112' can be used for all emergency phone calls across the country including for police, fire and ambulance, telecom regulator Trai proposed on Tuesday.

Similar to the '911' all-in-one emergency service in the US, government can integrate all existing emergency numbers such as 100, 101, 102 and 108 into the proposed '112' helpline number, Trai said in its recommendations on the emergency number.

This is good move....

Let the recommendation pass on first then get implemented

That's a good move and would be easy for people now to call a single number rather than other numbers. With the advent of mobile phones remembering numbers have become difficult.

I hope order gets the clearance soon and we get 1 no. for all.

 

[Sanjeev]

It is indeed a good move as we will get all the important numbers in one

emergency no 112 is in use for years i think.

 

[XPosed]

Only for no network Technoglitch bro

 

[Technoglitch]

it is not like that, we can dial the no incase of emergency and if your network is not available then it is patched through the available ones.

It's good to have one distress relieve number than multiple one. Good step by govt and will be helpful for all.
