Revolutionizing Emergency Response with Dial 112

Bihar Police’s Dial 112 helpline has emerged as a lifeline for residents. Daily, approximately 5,000 people benefit from this service, and the system has handled over 20 lakh calls in the past two years. In December alone, multiple incidents highlight the service’s efficacy:

Accident Relief: In Vaishali district’s Desri police station area, the team reached an accident site within 5 minutes, transporting an injured driver to the hospital. Similar prompt action was observed in East Champaran, where victims in Adapur, Chakia, and Pakridyal areas were attended to within minutes, ensuring timely medical care.
Domestic Violence Cases: A swift response to a domestic violence incident in Motihari’s Paharpur ensured the safety of a woman within 10 minutes of receiving the call, earning appreciation from the victim.

Beyond Emergencies: Addressing Crime and Missing Persons

Dial 112 is not limited to emergencies; it is equally effective in criminal cases and missing person reports:

Crime Response: In East Champaran, incidents of physical altercations in Pipra and Chiraiya areas saw the team arrive within 7 minutes, providing medical aid to injured individuals and de-escalating tensions. Additionally, the team recovered a stolen e-rickshaw in Sheikhpura district within hours of receiving the report.
Missing Children: The prompt actions of Dial 112 have reunited several families with missing children. For instance, a missing child from Jehanabad’s Kalpa area was located near Gandhi Maidan in Patna after thorough CCTV monitoring and investigation. Similarly, the team in Patna’s Shastrinagar area safely located a missing child within 30 minutes of receiving the report.

Ensuring Women’s Safety with “Safe Travel” Initiative

Since September, Bihar Police has implemented the Safe Travel Facility for women, a 24/7 free service accessible through Dial 112. Women can call anytime during their journeys to request assistance, ensuring their safety across the state. This initiative has been well-received, with increasing numbers of women availing themselves of this service to travel securely.

Digital Vigilance through Social Media

Bihar Police has also excelled in leveraging technology for public safety. Its social media monitoring center operates 24/7 to track and respond to incidents across the state. Notable interventions include:

Rapid action in collaboration with West Bengal Police after threats to students appearing for SSB exams in Siliguri.
Monitoring and shutting down over 400 accounts spreading misinformation and hate.

With over 14 lakh followers across platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and X (formerly Twitter), Bihar Police has become the state’s most followed government department. The team’s digital presence fosters transparency and trust, with many citizens turning to social media to report issues or seek help.

Improvements in Law and Order

DGP Vinay Kumar’s proactive leadership is credited for these improvements. He frequently visits police stations and urban areas late at night to evaluate the law and order situation. Routine vehicle checks are now a common sight across districts, reflecting the force’s enhanced vigilance.

Goals for 2025

The Dial 112 team aims to expand its reach further, targeting 18 to 20 lakh citizens in the upcoming year. Enhanced technology integration, shorter response times, and specialized services like Safe Travel are part of the strategy to build on current successes.
