Total 1,000 ‘Janrakshak’ Vehicles Deployed Across Gujarat Round-the-Clock for Emergency Response
Gandhinagar, Gujarat: With the objective of providing quick and effective emergency services to the citizens of the state, 500 more state-of-the-art ‘112-Janrakshak’ vehicles have been added to the Gujarat Police fleet. Today, Deputy Chief Minister Harsh Sanghavi flagged off these new vehicles from the Nava Sachivalay in Gandhinagar. With the addition of these 500 new vehicles, a total of 1,000 ‘Janrakshak’ vehicles will now remain deployed across Gujarat round-the-clock for emergency response.
With the use of a modern 150-seat call centre, CAD (Computer Aided Dispatch) system and caller location technology, the state’s average police response time has been reduced to just 10 minutes and 49 seconds. With the deployment of new vehicles and the use of advanced technology, the target is to bring this response time below 8 minutes. The 112 panic button has also been integrated into apps such as Ola, Uber, Rapido and Bharat Taxi.
On this occasion, Minister of State Kamlesh Patel stated that Gujarat has always been a leading state in ensuring peace, prosperity and security. He said that Gujarat Police remains committed to public safety, and the 112 emergency service will provide faster and more effective assistance, ensuring that police help reaches citizens as quickly as possible.
Within the short span of just 11 months of the implementation of the Janrakshak Project, integrated services have been provided in more than 11.04 Lakh emergency calls, while immediate assistance has been provided in more than 6.74 lakh police emergency incidents.
On this occasion, State Director General of Police Gyanendra Singh Malik; Additional Chief Secretary, Home Department, Arun Kumar Solanki; CID Crime DGP Dr. K.L.N. Rao, Law and Order DGP Rajkumar Pandian; Police Training DGP Neerja Gotru; Principal Secretary Nipuna Torwane, P&M ADGP Khursheed Ahmed, along with senior police officers, were present.
