Freakish 2611

Today I read a news report on the proposal for India's first emergency call number, on the lines of 911 in the United States.

The system promises to integrate all services - fire, police and medical - all into one. It is said it would operate on the principles of artificial intelligence to search and locate the distress caller!

Ambitious it is. Futuristic, it sounds.

The United States had the 911 emergency service. The country then faced the horrific 9/11 incident.

India had a horrific 26/11 and we now want "2611" as the emergency call number.

That is far too freakish to digest....
