About NERS:

The project NERS caters to the growing demand for single emergency number across the country. There are different phone numbers to call Police, Fire and Ambulance services in the country. It was realized that all emergency services must be converted into a Single Emergency Response System. Hence, the Department of Telecommunications has allotted emergency number ‘112’ for the NERS project.

It is a centralised system that connects with the State level 24 x 7 Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP). The system is envisaged to take inputs from various sources such as calls, SMS, email, panic buttons in public transport and various other sources. The system aims to reduce the emergency turnaround time and provide safer environment.
