Madhya Pradesh, Bhopal, February 27, 2010 /India PRwire/ -- GVK Emergency Management and Research Institute (GVK EMRI) wishes every one a happy and a safe holi and we wish that no one meets with an emergency. But emergencies are uncertain and can happen to anyone at any point of time. So if there is any emergency, call 108 to get a proper help on time and save a life.

108 Emergency Response Services (ERS) is an initiative of MP Government in partnership with GVK EMRI. The service was launched on July 16, 2009. Presently it covers Bhopal, Indore, Gwalior and Jabalpur District completely with 55 ambulances. Till date it has attended to over 50,000 emergencies and has saved over 2,500 lives.

Holi is festival of joy and colors. Bright colors, water balloons, lavish sweets and melodious songs are the ingredients of Holi. While playing Holi, some time emergencies occur. The emergencies that are expected to happen more are Road Accidents due to drinking & driving and rash driving, eve teasing, bodily offenses & fights and unconsciousness. So be careful while enjoying and if there is any emergency, call 108 for immediate and proper help. Other emergencies on which 108 can be also called for help are pregnancy related, heart attack, suicides, respiratory related, theft, burns, fire breakouts, animal bytes etc.
