Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited (ONGC) launched an All-India Toll-Free 24X7 Helpline Number – 1800-1800-088 – during the inaugural session of the Security Awareness Week 2019. The emergency helpline number was unveiled by former director of Intelligence Bureau, Rajiv Jain in the presence of ONGC Chairman and Managing Director (CMD) Shashi Shanker, directors on the board of ONGC and ONGC Videsh along with other senior officials.
Pertinently, the idea behind the installation of an All-India Toll-Free Number is to provide free of cost and hassle-free 24 X 7 interface to the general public residing near the ONGC operational areas, so that they are able to communicate their concerns regarding fire, security and safety issues.
