Soon, dial 112 to get help in emergency situations in Bihar

PATNA: Now, people will need to dial only a single emergency number, 112, to get help from either police, fire department, disaster management department or health (ambulance) services in the state. The round-the-clock emergency response support system (ERSS) will be functional soon as the 30-day trial run in Patna is likely to conclude by June-end.

A centralized state-level emergency response centre (SERC) has been set up at Bihar Police Radio headquarters at Patel Nagar in Patna. The main centre will be digitally connected to the police control rooms at district level and GPS-enabled emergency response vehicles stationed at the police stations.
