112

India has decided to adopt '112' as the national emergency number, similar to `911' in the US and `999' in the UK, with the Telecom Commission giving the go ahead to the new measure.The rollout of 112 may see a gradual phasing out of existing emergency numbers like 100 (for police), 101 (fire), 102 (ambulance) and 108 (disaster management) though they will continue to be in operation for at least one year.
