ONGC launches toll-free number to strengthen installation security
NEW DELHI. 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 at Deendayal Urja Bhawan Delhi on 13 December 2019. The emergency helpline number was unveiled by Former Director of Intelligence Bureau Mr Rajiv Jain, IPS (Retd.), in the presence of ONGC CMD Shri Shashi Shanker, Director(s) on the Board of ONGC and ONGC Videsh, CVO Mr R C Joshi, IAS, Chief Security Dr Baljit Singh, IPS, and other key executives of ONGC.
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 w.r.t. fire, security and safety issues.
It is also envisaged that this will help in augmenting ONGC’s information-gathering capabilities in the field areas; as at times, due to non-availability of an appropriate interface, vigilant people willing to share valuable information, withdraw, because of the paucity of resources.
Mr Rajiv Jain praised the ONGC Management for taking keen interest in the Security and Safety activities. He complimented ONGC Management for putting up a very systematic security infrastructure in place. ONGC CMD Mr Shashi Shanker noted that he wants ONGCians to be the eyes and ears of the security department, as security is a joint responsibility.
