We can also call 112 for an emergency call when we are in India.
Emergency calls through the number 112 arrive at this at the same place as the emergency numbers to the number 100.
When you need a fire brigade or an ambulance, you thus call the emergency number 112 (or 100). When you call the emergency number 112 in India for the police, you are redirected to the emergency number 100. Because of this, valuable time is saved for dialing multiple numbers.
