He said many states have adopted the emergency service 112, a changed name for ‘Dial 100’, which is being started in Uttar Pradesh.
Talking of ‘Savera’ initiative, Adityanath said in many places, especially, the urban areas, elderly couples live alone and they do not have any support.
“Savera initiative will instill new confidence in them. We should also take similar initiative for women safety as well and set up cell at police station-level, linked to women safety,” he said.
Noting the initiative to link together 108, 102 medical service, 1090 women power helpline, 181 women helpline, CM helpline, ambulance and other such services, he said it can become a good example.
