Which Number Should You Call First?
If you are unsure, dial 112. The unified number routes your call to the right service, so you do not have to remember whether it is a police, fire, or medical matter. Use the specific numbers below when you already know what you need and want to reach that service directly.
Medical emergency
Dial 108 for a free ambulance. The 108 service runs 24/7 across Coimbatore district and the rest of Tamil Nadu, and you are not charged for the ride or for emergency care during transport. For pregnancy and newborn cases, 102 is the dedicated free service. Give your exact location and the nature of the emergency, and stay on the line.
Crime or safety threat
Dial 100 for the police control room, or 112 for the unified line. For women facing harassment or violence, 1091 (women helpline) and 181 (domestic abuse) are staffed 24/7.
Fire, gas leak, or rescue
Dial 101 for Fire and Rescue Services. Report the exact address, what is burning, and whether anyone is trapped. Keep your phone free so the station can call back for directions.
