Dial-112 plays vital role to address distress calls in TG
Hyderabad: The Telangana State Emergency Response Support System (TGERSS), accessible via Dial-112, continues to prove its critical role in addressing emergencies throughout the state, ensuring rapid and effective responses to life-threatening situations. Recent interventions highlight the system's efficiency in averting major incidents, safeguarding lives, and enhancing public safety. In a notable incident, emergency teams successfully prevented a significant fire at a Café Coffee Day in SR Nagar. On 3 July, at 3:37 pm, a distress call to Dial-112 reported the blaze. TGERSS swiftly coordinated with SR Nagar police and the Fire Department, leading to the safe rescue of six individuals and hospitalisation of one injured person, with no fatalities. The fire, which originated on the ground floor and spread upwards, was extinguished within 20 minutes, with preliminary investigations pointing to an electrical short-circuit. The TGERSS also intervened to avert harassment on the Devagiri Express. On 5 July, an SOS alert via the T-Safe app reported a male passenger photographing and videoing female passengers near Mirzapalli. Dial-112 immediately coordinated with Shankarampet and Kamareddy police, along with GRP Railway Control. The train was intercepted at Kamareddy Railway Station, where officers arrested the accused, confirming the complaint with multiple unauthorised images found on his device. Furthermore, the system has been instrumental in preventing three suicide attempts. On 7 July, a distress call regarding a woman attempting suicide from the Bahadurpura Flyover prompted immediate action from Dial-112, with Bahadurpura Police reaching the scene within minutes to safely rescue her. Similar swift interventions on 11 July near the RTO Office in Kondapur and on 15 July in Deshaipet, Warangal, also led to successful rescues. In a heartening case, Dial-112 facilitated the safe return of a missing child. On 10 July, an eyewitness reported a 9-year-old boy travelling alone on the Kerala Express in Warangal, suspected to be missing. The boy's details were cross-checked using social media to identify his father. Coordination with Chhattisgarh Police and the Pursoli Village Pradhan helped locate the parents. The child was temporarily placed in a Child Stay Home under the Child Welfare Committee (CWC) before being safely reunited with his family. These incidents underscore the timely and effective responses of the Dial-112 system in diverse critical situations. TGERSS commended the unwavering dedication of its team in life-saving operations and swift interventions. The coordinated efforts of field officers, police stations, and emergency departments are crucial in ensuring the safety of citizens across the state. Citizens are strongly encouraged to utilise Dial-112 in times of distress.

Mangaluru warms up to coffee culture as new chains brew buzz across city
Mangaluru: A city once known for its strong coastal flavours and traditional hangouts is now brewing a fresh chapter—this time, in coffee. The coastal city of Mangaluru is embracing a growing coffee culture, one that's long been associated with metros like Bengaluru. The change is visible on its streets, where international coffee chains like Starbucks and Third Wave Coffee have set up shop, finding firm ground alongside long-standing local cafés. For many residents, a regular cup of coffee has become more than just a beverage—it's a lifestyle. "I visited and enjoyed almost all coffee shops, both local and international brands. However, I am loyal to a café that has existed for a decade or more. I am also happy that coffee lovers like me can sit and sip their favourite coffee whenever they feel like it," said Sherin Saldanha, an IT professional. Sherin, like many other young professionals, finds her week incomplete without at least two visits to her favourite café. And she is not alone—coffee lovers across Mangaluru are making similar rituals part of their routines. The arrival of new coffee chains has not only diversified Mangaluru's café scene but has also shifted the city's social dynamics. Traditional alcohol-serving hangouts are making way for more inclusive spaces that cater to a wider crowd. "These coffee shops provide a dedicated space for non-alcoholics, coffee enthusiasts, and connoisseurs to enjoy a conversation over a cup of coffee. While Café Coffee Day and Diesel Café have been favourites, the new national and international brands offer innovative menus featuring a variety of beverages and foods," said Laxmi Shenoy, a food blogger based in the city. Whether it's for a remote work session or catching up with friends, cafés have emerged as preferred venues. "We have customers across all age groups, who come in as families, youngsters, groups of friends, business partners, or those who want to have a meeting over coffee. Some work the entire day, and others who spend a few hours," said Prajna Fernandes of Starbucks, which now operates two outlets in Mangaluru. Third Wave Coffee store manager Yashwanth said lattes and cappuccinos top the popularity chart. "We have had a good response so far," he said, noting that exotic brews have yet to see demand in the city. But Mangaluru's bond with coffee is not new. Historically, the port city has been a major player in the country's coffee trade. Since the 1830s, during British rule, Mangaluru has been pivotal in processing and exporting coffee, handling about 75% of India's coffee exports. With this revival in café culture, it seems Mangaluru is simply circling back to its caffeinated roots—only this time, with an espresso shot of modern flair.
