In danger? Call 112. The services below are run by government agencies, not by Gharmatch. We list them and link to the source so you can check for yourself.

Each entry says what we did: read it on an official page, found it only on an old page, or have not checked it yet. Numbers can change, so confirm before you rely on them.

Police stations and hospitals near a home

We do not keep our own list, because a stale list is worse than none. Every listing has “Police station nearby” and “Hospital nearby” links that open a live Google Maps search around the area. Always check the route and the hours yourself.

Before launch

• Confirm every entry marked “not yet checked” or “out of date” with the issuing office, and add the local police control room numbers for Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar.
• Replace the old Ahmedabad district page entries when a newer official list is available.
• Repeat the check at least every three months and update the date.
