The EMRS helpline is designed to facilitate the quickest possible response from the nearest medical establishment, tailored to the specific nature of each emergency. Trained medical teams will be on standby around the clock, ready to offer expert advice and rapid assistance, significantly bolstering the IAF’s emergency medical response capabilities.

In a related development, Chaudhari visited the Centre for Development of Telematics (C-DOT) Delhi Campus in March.

This includes advanced defense communications and robust cybersecurity measures.

The Air Chief’s visit underscores the importance of integrating cutting-edge telecommunication technologies into defense infrastructure, highlighting the ongoing efforts to enhance the security and efficiency of communications within the Indian Air Force.

Through initiatives like the EMRS and collaborations with institutions like C-DOT, the IAF is continuously advancing its operational readiness and capability to respond to emergencies effectively.
