Lucknow Police Response Vehicles To Play "Jaagte Raho" Siren

As a pilot project, the Lucknow Police Dial 100 vehicles will play "Jaagte Raho" tune instead of the routine siren.

"All Dial-100 Police Response Vehicles' (PRV) sirens will play tunes of "Jagte Raho" (stay awake) in Lucknow," Hazratganj police officer Abhay Mishra said.

"The tune will be played in PRVs all night to alert the public, like watchmen used to do. It has started in Hazratganj as a pilot project. Its success will be monitored and will be applied elsewhere in future," he said.
