The Gujarat government has added 500 ‘112‑Janrakshak’ vehicles to its police emergency fleet, bringing the total count to 1,000, according to ET Auto.
Gujarat’s law‑enforcement authorities have announced the induction of 500 additional ‘112‑Janrakshak’ vehicles into the state’s police emergency fleet. With this deployment, the fleet now comprises 1,000 dedicated response units, a milestone highlighted by the state’s transport and police departments.
The newly added vehicles are part of the ongoing effort to strengthen rapid‑response capabilities across the state, ensuring quicker assistance to citizens during emergencies. Officials said the expansion aligns with Gujarat’s broader public‑safety initiatives and will be integrated with existing command‑and‑control systems.
The move was reported by ET Auto, which noted that the fleet upgrade reflects the state’s commitment to modernising its emergency services infrastructure. No further details on the specifications of the ‘112‑Janrakshak’ units were released at the time of reporting.
State officials are expected to roll out the vehicles across key districts in the coming weeks, aiming to improve coverage in both urban and rural areas. The enhancement of the fleet underscores Gujarat’s focus on leveraging specialised resources for public safety.
The addition also brings Gujarat’s emergency vehicle count in line with other leading Indian states that have been expanding their rapid‑response assets in recent years.
