Bhubaneswar: Taking note of the difficulties faced by people while seeking emergency help from different departments of Odisha Police, the state government on Wednesday issued a unified toll-free number.
Announcing this, Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik said earlier people used to dial 100, 101, 102, 104, 108 and 181 for emergency help like police ambulance, fire services and women’s helpline.
