For the first time ever, Uttar Pradesh’s dial-112 police service is also active on waters to assist those in distress to ensure the safety of the pilgrims taking boat rides in the holy waters of Sangam, Ganga and Yamuna Rivers.
According to the Police officials, two boats of UP dial-112 have been deployed along with Jal police personnel.
It has been reported that the boats will promptly rush to the spot upon receiving a call for help through the police control room.
The service is well-equipped with life-saving equipment and primary medical aid.
Moreover, language barriers will not hinder pilgrims seeking help as a special app will aid the cops to translate the language spoken by pilgrims to Hindi and address their problems accordingly.
