India's all-in-one emergency helpline number '112' was launched by Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh in 16 states and Union Territories. The 112 emergency helpline number would provide immediate assistance to services like police (100), fire (101), health (108), women's safety (1090) and child protection. The emergency number earlier was launched in Himachal Pradesh and Nagaland. But, now, as it has been launched in 16 states, it will gradually be extended to other states as well. Rajnath Singh said -- "The helpline number '112' will be activated across the country by next year and anyone in distress can reach the helpline by pressing a single key of phones which will be pre-programmed." Apart from emergency response service, the government also launched Investigation Tracking System for Sexual (ITSSO) and the safe city implementation monitoring portal to improve the women's safety situation in the country.
