Ganderbal Police on Friday, 6 November 2026 launched a district-wide awareness drive to promote the Emergency Response Support System (ERSS) helpline Dial 112. Police personnel put up posters at public places and schools and distributed pamphlets to educate residents and students on how to seek immediate assistance during emergencies.
The campaign aims to bridge the information gap and encourage timely reporting of distress situations. Police have urged the public to remember the single helpline number and use it responsibly whenever help is needed.
The drive addresses a practical gap: many residents may not know about the single emergency helpline or how it works. The campaign targets students and public places, reaching people where they gather. Ganderbal Police have not announced an end date or follow-up assessment for the awareness effort, leaving the initiative's long-term reach and impact open.
