A new hotline number 16163 has been launched in the Dhaka Central Control Room of the Fire Service and Civil Defense Department. This information was conveyed in a press release of the Fire Service and Civil Defense on Tuesday (January 11) evening.
It has been informed that the current 11 digit phone number will also be active.
This number can be called from any operator to get emergency services, the press release said. Telephone is one of the means of providing information to the service recipients. This 5 digit hotline has been launched as it is a bit difficult to remember 11 digit telephone in case of emergency.
