Chandigarh, June 13

The state’s cyber helpline 1930 was integrated with the centralised emergency response and support system (CSERC) number 112 on Monday.

ADGP AS Chawla, who is the nodal officer for the CSERC, said standard operating procedures pertaining to 1930 service had been successfully incorporated in the 112 system so that prompt and accountable emergency services could be provided to the victims seamlessly.

He said the pace of acceptance of the CSERC amongst in the state had risen exponentially with the number of calls increasing from 3,87,799 in August 2021 to 5,03,369 in May 2022.

Feedback reports captured from the residents reveal that the satisfaction levels had risen from 91.23 per cent in August 2021 to 94.88 per cent in May 2022, he added.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
