Emergency Response Support System (ERSS):
- The ERSS is a pan-India single number (112) based response system for persons in distress. A citizen may use the following methods to access the emergency services:
- Dial 112 from phone. For Women and children, 112 India App provides a special SHOUT feature which alerts registered volunteers in the vicinity of victim for immediate assistance.
- Press power button on smart phone 3 time quickly to activate panic call to ERC.
- In case of feature phone, long press of “5” or “9” key on the phone will activate the panic call.
- Log onto ERSS website for the State and lodge emergency.
- Email SOS alert to State ERC.
- Use 112 India Mobile App, which is available free on Google Play store and Apple store.
- Under this system, all the states have to set up a dedicated Emergency Response Centre (ERC) which will be connected to District Command Centres (DCC) and the Emergency Response Vehicles, and assistance/response to victims are facilitated through them.
- The 16 States/UTs where the ERSS has been launched are Andhra Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Punjab, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, UP, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Puducherry, Lakshadweep, Andaman, Dadra & Nagar Haveli, Daman & Diu, J&K. ERSS had already been successfully implemented in the States of Himachal of Pradesh and Nagaland.
Investigation Tracking System for Sexual Offences (ITSSO):
- The ITSSO is meant for Law Enforcement Agencies in the country.
