Jammu, February 15 The Jammu and Kashmir police on Sunday dedicated six Dial-112 emergency response support system (ERSS) vehicles in the hilly Doda district to enhance public safety and strengthen emergency response mechanisms.
Doda Senior Superintendent of Police Sandeep Mehta flagged off the vehicles from the district police lines and urged citizens to use the Dial 112 emergency service responsibly, strictly for genuine emergencies.
Under this initiative, each police station in the district has been provided with a dedicated emergency response vehicle, ensuring a swift, effective, and time-bound response to accidents, disputes, crimes, and all distress calls received through Dial 112, a police spokesman said.
He said the deployment of the ERSS vehicles is aimed at reducing response time, improving on-ground policing efficiency, and ensuring prompt assistance to citizens in emergency situations.
The vehicles are manned by trained police personnel and equipped with essential communication and response tools, the spokesman said.
“Public safety remains the top priority of the police… misuse of the emergency helpline through false or prank calls may attract legal action,” the SSP said.
He said the police remain committed to its motto “people first” and continue to adopt proactive, technology-driven, and citizen-centric measures to ensure safety, enhance security, and strengthen public trust.
