If you get stuck in some trouble and call the number 100 to seek the help of the police, you will now hear a recorded voice message and after that you press the number 8, only then your call will be transferred to the police control room. If you don't do this, then your call will be cut.
Now-a-days, those who call 100 numbers are being forced to ask for help from the police. Surprisingly, despite the presence of technology around the world, the calls of 100 number callers are not automatically diverted or transferred directly to the police control room, instead they are being asked to press 8 numbers. . It is heard with 'Press 8 for 112 service.' In such a situation, people are getting confused.
In emergency, people used to dial 100 numbers earlier, but now it has been replaced by 112, which is supported by Delhi Police as well as emergency services related to fire brigade and ambulances. But the police officers themselves are not too serious about the number 112 propagation. The DCP Twitter handle of 14 out of 15 districts of Delhi has written about dialing 100 numbers to seek police help.
100 number calls are not being transferred to 112
Even the police commissioner and the official Twitter handle of the Delhi Police has written about dialing 100 numbers to help the police. At present, the number 100 has not been completely closed. Calls coming here are not automatically transferred to the 112 number. On dialing 112, the first 8 numbers are asked to be pressed. In such a situation, most of the people caught in the emergency do not understand what is happening and they keep dialing the 100 number repeatedly after cutting the call.
