Emergency Helpline Numbers of India

112

India has got a single national emergency number 112, just like 911 in the USA and 112 in European countries. The number 112 works 24×7 in all states, from anywhere in India. It covers police, fire brigade, ambulance, and more. You can call the number 112 from a mobile or fixed phone for free. Calls to the earlier specific numbers, such as 100, 101, etc. are still valid and are equivalent to calling 112. This is part of the Emergency Response Support System (ERSS) initiative of the Government of India.

There are multiple ways to leverage 112 services. Use one of the following options to activate a Panic call:

1. Call: Dial 112 from your phone
2. Smartphone shortcut: Press the power button on your smartphone 3 times in quick succession (mandatorily available in all smartphones sold after April 2017)
3. Feature phone shortcut: Long press the 5 or 9 key on your feature phone
4. App: Use 112 India mobile app. Install the app from the Google Play Store (Android) or App Store (iOS). When you use the 112 India app, it sends the exact location of the incident.

You must use any of the emergency numbers with caution. Use only when necessary.
