From Independence Day next year, Haryana will have a common state-level emergency no ‘Haryana 100.’ It will replace similar facilities districts have at present.
The Haryana Government plans to launch ‘Haryana 100’, Centralised Police Emergency Management System, to quickly arrest the offenders who flee the crime spot, and provide immediate police assistance to the victims.
It will be launched by the Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, on August 15, 2018 from Panchkula. This decision was taken at a review meeting of the project presided over by the CM on Monday.

Currently, the Police Emergency Management System in Haryana is decentralised. Every district has its own call centre, sometimes leading to issues like citizens calling 100 usually finding the line busy, facing rude and un-responsive behaviour of the operator receiving the call, and the police reaching the spot of incidence in 35-40 minutes after the event.
Haryana 100’ will be headquartered in Panchkula and a separate building is being constructed for it. There will be 100 dedicated Call Centre Operators and 50 dedicated dispatch officers at the headquarters.
Six hundred specially fabricated four-wheelers would be deployed all over the state to ensure quick action on receiving any complaint. After the launch of this project, the police will ensure that they reach the spot of incident within a maximum of 15-20 minutes.
In order to fast-track the project, Venkat Changavalli has been appointed advisor to the Haryana Government. He was first chief executive officer of Emergency Management and Research Institute (EMRI) for providing ‘Free Medical Emergency Response Services 108’.
The CM said he would lay stone of the building of ‘Haryana 100’ on October 15, 2017 in Panchkula. He issued directions to officers to fast-track the project which would improve the working of police and make people have more faith in the force.
