Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah launched the citizens' helpline number 'Namma 100' on June 10 amid much enthusiasm and fanfare. The service is a re-christined and upgraded emergency response system that has been put in place by the Bengaluru Police to enable ease-of-use. In keeping with the words of the chief minister, the project has already started winning accolades among the public and government officials.
It turned to be boon for the police department too who are much sorted now. Earlier, when there was no one responding to 100, people used to call the Commissioners and the higher-upseven for non-emergency issues. This not only took away precious time of investigating other important cases, but also proved to be a diversion for the police. The response time too was high. City Police Commissioner Praveen Sood said, "The updated police control room is getting around 3,200 calls, most of which are not serious in nature. These are being resolved by the Hoysala staff."
So, before you make that call, know these facts about the helpline number that you weren't aware of previously:
