The basics of the information, which should be always kept with tourists as well as citizens, are the emergency numbers. This includes the police station details, ambulance service numbers, hospital numbers and addresses, fire service numbers, blood donation bank details, mortuary bank numbers, eye donation institutions and the likes. Both government and private sectors work to make life better and safer for the people and tourists.
Significantly, during the 2004 Tsunami disaster of South Asia, Kanyakumari was one of the worst hit regions. Hundreds were injured, killed and many were dislocated. It was during this hour of emergency, the real stamina of the emergency service units was tested. Truly the Kanyakumari police, ambulance services, Kanyakumari hospitals and even the fire brigade workers did a marvelous job in replacing normal life.
