Hyderabad: A centralised system on the lines of an emergency response agency like '911' in the United States was launched in Andhra Pradesh on April 12 to enable the police reach complainant within minutes.Under the 'Dial 100' project, the AP police department has partnered with GVK EMRI to build and operate a unified command and control centre for the entire state.
The integrated 'Dial 100' centre would also co-ordinate other emergency services like medical, fire and other disaster-related response services. Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy, who inaugurated the centralised 'Dial-100' system as an "Ugadi (Telugu New Year) gift" to the state at Kompally here, said "people no longer need to go to police station to lodge a complaint. The police will come to your doorstep". |
