Chitradurga: Emergency Response Support System (ERSS) is a Pan-India single number (112) based emergency response system for citizens in emergencies. Each State/Union Territory is required to designate a dedicated Emergency Response Centre (ERC) to handle emergency requests. If you require emergency assistance from Police, Fire, or Health departments or from any other services, you may Dial 112
People in distress can henceforth call 112 to contact the police, fire, or for any other emergencies. All the calls made through ERSS will be handled by the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP), established in all State capitals and Union Territories. The PSAPs will track the location of the caller and alert the nearest ERSS vehicle through the district or city control room so that help is rushed to callers through GPS, said a statement by the Mysuru city police. Also, the caller will receive an acknowledgment and the number of the ERSS vehicle through SMS.
