In the first six months of operation, Telangana's unified Dial-112 helpline handled 45 critical cases. These included 31 suicide attempts, five missing children, three instances of child marriage, two cases of child abduction, and individual incidents of attempted murder, rape, forcible marriage, and a road accident, according to data released by the Telangana Integrated Command and Control Centre (TGiCCC).
Introduced on December 5, 2024, the Telangana Emergency Response Support System (TGERSS), operating through the Dial-112 platform, has replaced a host of legacy emergency numbers including 100 (police), 101 (fire), 108 (medical), women safety (181), child safety (1098) and disaster management (1077). The system, established at the Integrated Command Control Centre (ICCC) in Banjara Hills, uses computer-based dispatch technology for quick and coordinated response across departments.
The system ensured real-time communication with field personnel, ensuring quick intervention and continuous monitoring by emergency control roof staff.
The emergency support framework is designed to be accessible through multiple channels, including voice calls, SMS, email, SOS panic button, and ERSS web portal.

Day after killing 18-yr-old brother, man arrested
Lucknow: A day after he murdered his 18-year-old younger brother during a heated altercation at their home in Jankipuram, a 35-year-old man was arrested on Tuesday. The accused, Amit Mishra alias Bala, reportedly told investigators he lost his temper after his brother, Ravi Mishra alias Arjun Mishra, spoke to him in abusive language. The murder took place at 7:30am on Monday inside their residence in Sector-6 of Jankipuram Extension. According to police, Amit allegedly slammed Ravi multiple times on the floor and then strangled him to death with a dupatta (scarf). Police were alerted on Dial 112 and on reaching the scene, found Ravi's body in a pool of blood. A forensic team was called in to gather evidence and the body was sent for postmortem following completion of legal formalities. Inspector Vinod Kumar Tiwari of Jankipuram police station said both brothers were drunkl at the time of fight. "The altercation escalated when Ravi hurled expletives at Amit. In a fit of rage, Amit killed him," he said. Amit was taken into custody on Tuesday, and a case of murder was registered against him. Besides Amit, Ravi is survived by his parents Ram Lakhan and Nirmala Mishra, brother Rahul (30) and sister Neha Tiwari (25). Neha told police that Amit worked at a private readymade garment store in Madiaon, while Rahul is employed at a jewellery shop in Dandaiya Bazaar and lives separately. Neighbours and relatives described Ravi as a troubled youth with a history of substance abuse. He was often involved in arguments and had a reputation for aggressive behaviour within family and the neighbourhood. A loud altercation reportedly took place on Sunday night too, hours before the murder. Police said further investigation was underway to establish sequence of events and determine if there were other underlying factors behind the murder.
