Hyderabad: The Emergency Response Support System (Dial-112), which is now operational in Telangana and managed from TGiCCC in Banjara Hills, has helped in preventing four major crimes including an attempt to rape and molestation incident in the State on Saturday.

This system which was introduced by the central government integrates all major emergency service numbers under one umbrella – police, fire, ambulance, women safety, child protection and disaster management. It plays a vital role in tracing missing persons and preventing serious crimes such as murders and rape attempts.
