Maharashtra Police Cut Dial 112 Response Time to 3 Minutes, Says Fadnavis

Devendra Fadnavis, the Chief Minister of Maharashtra, announced on Tuesday that the state police’s emergency helpline, Dial 112, will now respond within three minutes of a call. The move follows a series of upgrades to the emergency response infrastructure across the state. According to the CM, the new system will deploy additional dispatch centres and equip them with faster communication tools to reduce delays. The change is expected to improve public safety and reduce response times for critical incidents such as accidents and crimes.
