Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav said that the police play a vital role in maintaining social order. He congratulated the Madhya Pradesh Police on the launch of Dial 112, calling it a new initiative to enhance police responsiveness. He said, “This emergency number will become a cornerstone of a society’s safety & security ecosystem, serving as both a promise of swift police response and a commitment to assistance for the people of the state”. He noted, “In today’s era of Minimum Government, Maximum Governance, Dial 112 will play a key role as a ‘One Number for All Services’ facility,”. Police control rooms have been equipped with advanced technology and First Response Vehicles (FRVs) have been fitted with modern equipment. The Dial 100 model of Madhya Pradesh has already been adopted by other states, including Uttar Pradesh. Through its vigilance and efficiency, Dial 100 has ensured the safety of 2.23 lakh elderly citizens, more than 19 lakh women, 1,300 newborns and reunited 23,000 missing children with their families — a significant achievement for the MP Police.

 

The newly launched Dial 112 service will keep pace with the country’s development and provide all possible assistance to citizens in various emergencies. The state government has allocated over Rs. 1,500 crore for these vehicles, reaffirming that citizens’ safety remains its top priority. CM Dr. Yadav said that the MP Police has successfully met high safety standards. He was speaking at the launch event for Dial 112 held at Kushabhau Thakre Auditorium. CM Dr. Yadav pressed a remote button to inaugurate the vehicles and flagged them off for the districts.
