100 is the way we all reach out to the police. But there are times when one starts to search for the number in case of an emergency. 112 is the number that the centre launched long back in case of emergency. This is an initiative taken under One Country, One Emergency to help in case of distress. The best part is service is available across India.
One will be amazed to know the number will connect to your local police, no matter which states you belong to. The three-digit number is your saviour, whatever the situation may be. Women can also dial the number if they are suspicious about anything.
If senior citizens need help or medication, they can dial the number and get help. If we look at the data, the main control room receives around 2000 calls every day. But still, there are many who are not aware of the number that can provide help in case of any distress.
In Maharashtra, there are two centres; one is in Nagpur, and the other is located in Navi Mumbai.
