112 emergency number details in telugu

New Delhi: Just like '911' in the US, Indians too will soon be able to dial a single number in emergency situations and avail the services of police, ambulance, or the fire department. The Telecom Commission has accepted TRAI's recommendation of making '112' as the official all-in-one emergency number in the country and phasing out all the existing emergency numbers within a year of roll out. But what is an emergency number and what would it mean to have the '911'-like emergency number in India? Here is everything you need to know about the new all-in-one emergency number: 1. What is an emergency number? An emergency number is to help citizens connect to the most important services in any city - be it health, crime, or calamity. Instead of wasting time in asking people for help during crucial conditions, an all-in-one emergency number helps gain those precious minutes following an accident, or save lives if a building catches fire, or even in cases of thefts. 2. How many emergency numbers currently exist in India?

The official local and nationwide emergency number in the United States is 911, while 112 is a global emergency number primarily used in European countries. The claim in a social media post that calling 112 brings help in the U.S. and is a way to verify if an unmarked police car is legitimate is false on both counts. The 9-1-1 Association (the National Emergency Number Association, or NENA) debunked the claim as long ago as 2013, with that organization calling it "bad advice." The post lays out a dramatic purported scenario of a woman being followed by what could be an unmarked police car, she calls 112, help arrives and it turns out the car following her was being driven by a criminal. But the scenario lacks any details of date, location or police involved. The post simply urges readers to share its bogus information.
