Nagaland became the first state in the Northeast and second in the country, after Himachal Pradesh, to launch a pan-India single-number (112) emergency mobile application which will have a special women safety feature for immediate assistance from police and volunteers. Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh stated that a 'SHOUT' feature has been made available exclusively for women in the '112 India' mobile app which is connected to the Emergency Response Support System (ERSS). The launch coincided with the state's formation day and the inaugural day of the 2018 edition of the Hornbill Festival.
