DEHRADUN: Uttarakhand police's Garhwal Range on Wednesday launched a dedicated helpline to provide assistance to people living alone in remote villages of the region whose family members have migrated to different parts of the country and world.
"An inspector posted at the Garhwal range office will be in charge of the cell. The official will be assisted by a lady constable, two male constables. WhatsApp will also remain active on the said mobile number. It will remain active 24x7," said a police officer.
Inspector general of police (Garhwal) Rajiv Swaroop said, "Most residents in the region live in different cities and towns of the country and world for job and other reasons and their family members, especially elderly, reside in the villages. Many people from the region are also employed in the army and paramilitary forces."
