Have you ever called emergency telephone number? If no, why ? Haven't you ever trapped in the situation like emergency ? You probably calls your friend or relative. I have a good experience with emergency call on Police 100 and medical 108 in Ahmedabad, they do appear in time, Medical emergency comes in 3 to 8 minutes and Police might come in 10 to 15 minutes and that's a good appearance. (Better late than never.)

Only land-line numbers are valid to call for emergency, the cell phone won't work to call emergency help (Something is better than nothing ) and you must provide your name and proper address to get proper services. On road accident or any other medical emergency, it's best idea to call emergency number instead of calling friend or relative because they give treatment immediately as they appear.

Every Indian hesitate / hate to enter in police station even if he is victim and need to file complain due to wrong attitude of police men. However, if you call emergency number for trouble, it is like online complain, your complain will be registered with Police Commissioner Office and immediately your complain will be forwarded to local police station. The situation must have to reported by local police station to Police commissioner office in time and this really helps you if you are in trouble.

Central Govt of India designate 108 as the national emergency contact number for Police, Medical and Fire emergencies. But I dial 100 for police and Fire Emergency, I know is 101 and you should checkout medical emergency number for your city either 108, 104 or 102.
