National Emergency Telephone Number -2611 - has been mooted by during emergency and disaster management in the country. Dial 2611, a National Emergency Telephone Number system (NETNS,) is designed and developed as a nationwide single telephone number assigned to integrate local, regional and national help lines and is easy to remember, Dinkar Borde, a scientist and an innovator, said. Borde has submitted his proposal to Bureau of Police Research and Development in the Union Ministry of Home Affairs last October for its consideration. The number has been chosen mainly for two reasons--it is secured and fool-proof and is easy to remember for public as it relates to 26th November terrorist attack in Mumbai.
"Dial 2611 is a combination of man, machine and high-tech next generation telecom tools like Global Positioning system (GPS), Geographical Information System (GIS), Satellite, Mobile, IT and others for prompt response with perfect rescue coordination with Local Based Services (LBS)," he added. When a caller dials 2611, the call goes to a national switchboard which after noting his location will connect him to nearby Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) where specially trained officer will try to understand your emergency and depending on situation PSAP will arrange local rescue force at you.
