Dhaka,
Aug 13 (UNB) -- The National Emergency Service 999 has fully resumed from
Tuesday after being closed for eight days, confirmed the media division of the
Police Headquarters.
The service had been
shut down since August 5 due to the absence of police members. They have now
returned to work, and as a result, the national emergency service 999 has been
reactivated, it said.
The National Emergency
Service includes ambulance, police, fire, and crime-related assistance.
If someone is in danger
and calls for help, they must provide specific information. Based on that
information, a police officer from the nearest police station contacts the
person. Necessary actions are then taken based on the information provided.
