Where this came from
- 112: 112.gov.in, the government’s emergency response service.
- 1033: Press Information Bureau, on NHAI’s helpline.
- Hospitals and police: OpenStreetMap contributors, read 7 October 2026, at most two in each 10 km of road. Nobody has checked them.
- Satellite phones: the Embassy of India’s notice, which carries no date. The telecom department’s own page could not be opened.
Saved with the route, so it opens with no network.
