Chief minister Akhilesh Yadav launched the much awaited ambitious round the clock statewide police emergency response system centre ‘UP-100’ here on Saturday morning.
“My government had done many work regarding improving emergency services and now after 108 and 192 ambulances services, UP-100 would turned out to be game changer as far as maintaining law and order and giving quick relied to people in distress”, Yadav said soon after inaugurating the most advances police emergency services in the State.
“Till now you have to go the police station to seek justice but now with the start of this service, police will reach to you to redress your problems”, he added while hailing the officers concerned who made his dream of UP-100 come true in a record time of less then a year. Yadav said that no one can talk or raise finger on his government as far as development is concerned but some people and opposition do raise the issue of law and order. ``My government has done a lot on development front but not with the start of this police emergency services, no one can raise finger or criticise my government on law and order front also”, asserted Yadav while adding that the UP police will get a new `facelift’ with start of UP-100.

Besides he also inaugurated 2000 houses which will be allotted to police personal. He also announced that very soon E-Police Stations will be also opened in UP.
This is one of the biggest emergency police response system in the country, where anybody can seek help through phone, texts or any other communication method and in turn will be provided immediate relief and help maximum in 20 minutes time. The system would boost the law and order situation in the state as police forces would reach the spot of the crime or incident within 20 minutes time. Yadav launched UP-100 at its own building on Shaheed Path.
The CM is also scheduled to go to Bareilly later in the day to inaugurate the same function there but due to some reason, he cancelled the visit in the last minute.
