Ahmedabad police get TRAI approval to use bulk SMS

New system to cut down emergency response times for cops

- Sarfaraz.Shaikh

The city police have received permission from the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) to send bulk SMS messages in emergencies. The police aim to use bulk SMS to reduce response times and improve communication during critical situations. The system will automatically send SMS alerts to the police inspector responsible for the area where an incident occurs.

This system will also automatically respond to emergency calls made through the Emergency Call Button (ECB), messages sent through the "One App," and phone calls made to the Police Control Room (PCR).
