For the past four to five days, Navi Mumbai residents attempting to reach the police through the three control room numbers displayed on Google have found all of them non-functional, raising serious concern over emergency access in the city.

Calls to the listed numbers — 022-27574928, 022-27574947, and 022-27574948 — resulted in either an audio message, that the number did not exist or indications that the line was busy. Even the police helpline, 7738363836, refused to connect, with callers receiving a message that incoming call services had been disconnected.
