CM launches new emergency helpline number ‘112’

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath launched an integrated emergency service and senior citizen security initiative coined ‘Savera’ at Dial 100 Bhawan on Shaheed Path in Lucknow on Saturday.

Speaking on the occasion, Yogi said that many states had adopted Emergency Service 112, a changed name for ‘Dial 100’, and it was being started in Uttar Pradesh from Saturday.

‘Dial 100’ will function simultaneously for some time before being phased out.

“We need to carry forward 112 as an integrated emergency service. Efforts should be made to promote it from today itself,” the Chief Minister said.

Yogi claimed that now people would not have to remember different numbers for different tasks. “All emergency services have been integrated for the task.
