Amit Shah today inaugurated the Janrakshak projects being launched under Dial 112 in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. Many dignitaries including Gujarat Chief Minister Shri Bhupendra Patel and Minister of State for Home, Shri Harsh Sanghavi were present on the occasion.
Addressing the event, Union Home Minister Shri Amit Shah said that the Home Department of the State Government has taken a historic step to ensure the security of Gujarat in the form of '112 Janrakshak' project. He said that along with the inauguration of '112 Janrakshak' project, newly constructed houses and offices were inaugurated by Gujarat Police Housing Corporation at a cost of Rs 217 crore and a fleet of 1000 police vehicles were also launched. Shri Shah said that what is particularly important for him is that the police station of Mansa has received BIS certification. He said that he was born in Mansa, grew up there and from there he became capable of contributing to the politics of Gujarat and the country, so it is a matter of happiness for him that the police station of Mansa has received BIS certification.
Union Home Minister Shri Amit Shah said that the '112' project is a visionary initiative of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi to ensure internal security of the country, protect the rights of citizens, maintain law and order and provide timely assistance in case of any emergency. He expressed happiness that today Gujarat is registering its place in the map of 'Dial 112 Janrakshak'. He said that till now the maze of different toll-free numbers, like 100 for police, 108 for ambulance, 101 for fire service, 181 for women helpline, 1098 for child helpline, 1070 and 1077 for disaster, was confusing the people. But now people will get any kind of security related service like disaster management, child helpline, women helpline, fire service, ambulance and police assistance in a very short time by just dialing one number, 112.
