The 112 SOS Mobile App is a part of the Emergency Response Support System (ERSS), a Govt of India initiative. The application is functional in most of the states in India. Visit https://112.gov.in/states * Currently launched in Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Nagland, Punjab, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu only. The App will be launched soon in the rest of the states. In an emergency situation, a person in distress may seek for the assistance of local emergency service delivery departments and volunteers through the App. The App will send emergency alerts with the user's details(name, age, emergency contacts) and location information, along with a generated call to ‘112’ - to the State Emergency Control Room and the person’s emergency contacts. The system forwards the emergency alert to nearby online local volunteers if available. The emergency alert is notified with an audible sound/ visual alert on the volunteer smartphones. The volunteers can mark their consent to help and the volunteer details along with photo and contact number will be forwarded to the person in distress. Highlights * Providing single panic app across the country for addressing citizen emergency. * Providing 24 x 7, efficient and effective response system, which can involve local volunteers from citizens to provide efficient emergency response service * Timely dispatch of field resources (police, health, fire & disaster management) to the location of incidence using the system. * Integration with existing emergency response systems. * It aims to make the operations citizen-friendly, more transparent, and efficient and provides citizen profile management and feedback mechanisms. * It will also help to keep track of the progress of incidents and the services delivered taking emergency services to the next level.

Why is India obsessed with OTP
This App is a typical example of incorrect use of OTP and now no one is able to use the App. The rest of the world does not use OTP and they seem to be doing fine. Coming back to this App, the fact that I have installed it on a device with internet connection, should let me use this App in an emergency. Both apple and google give you a Device ID to know who I am. If I need a phone no to use the App, why do I need the App - Dialing 112 is lot simpler during an emergency. I understand that having both phone (for calling back) and app (for things like GPS) is ideal, but that shouldn’t be forced. One of them should just work fine. In fact these type of Apps should never have a login... let more people use it - better be safe than sorry in an emergency.
