In an effort to combat street crimes, the Punjab Safe City Authority (PSCA) has introduced a new initiative by installing ‘panic buttons’ at 122 strategic locations throughout the city. This innovative measure aims to provide citizens with a direct and immediate connection to police assistance, ensuring rapid response times during emergencies.
The ‘panic button’ system is designed to enhance public safety, offering a crucial lifeline in critical moments such as mobile snatchings or robberies. When activated, these buttons alert the nearest police units, who are then dispatched to the scene promptly.

The PSCA’s deployment of these panic buttons is part of a broader strategy to create a safer urban environment. By facilitating swift police intervention, the initiative not only aims to deter criminals but also to reassure the public that help is readily available.
This technological advancement is expected to significantly reduce response times, thereby potentially saving lives and property.
