what happens when you dial 112 in india
112 (emergency telephone number) 112 is a part of the GSM standard and all GSM-compatible telephone handsets are able to dial 112 even when locked or, in some countries, with no SIM card present. It is also the common emergency number in India and in nearly all member states of the European Union as well as several other countries of Europe and the world. 112 is often available alongside other numbers traditionally used in the given country to access emergency services. In some countries, calls to 112 are not connected directly but forwarded by the GSM network to local emergency numbers (e.g., 911 in North America or 000 in Australia).
National identification number As World's biggest Biometric ID Programme,[15] the Indian Government on 28 January 2009, established an Authority called the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) to issue a Unique Identification Number to all citizens and residents of India. UIDAI's Aadhaar card project[16] gives each Indian citizen a unique 12 digit identification number, along with recording their biometrics such as iris scan and fingerprints on a UIDAI database and the card is being rolled out to all eligible citizens. The first Aadhaar number was launched in Maharashtra in the village of Tembhli, on 29 September 2010.[17] So far up to February 2016, 984 million (98 crores) Aadhaar Numbers have been issued.[18] In October 2015, 93 percent of adult Indians have an Aadhaar card.[19] There is no Aadhaar smart card but UID information of a card can be printed on a piece of paper or on a plastic card.[20] After the recent order by the supreme court of India Aadhar card is not mandatory for availing public services.
