The number <strong>112<\/strong> works 24&#215;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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are multiple ways to leverage 112 services. Use one of the following options to activate a <strong>Panic<\/strong> call:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Call<\/strong>: Dial 112 from your phone<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Smartphone shortcut<\/strong>: Press the power button on your smartphone 3 times in quick succession (mandatorily available in all smartphones sold after April 2017)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Feature phone shortcut<\/strong>: Long press the<strong> 5<\/strong> or <strong>9<\/strong> key on your feature phone<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>App<\/strong>: Use <strong>112 India<\/strong> mobile app. Install the app from the Google Play Store (Android) or App Store (iOS).
