Claim: Update : PIB Fact Check clarified that the Government of India has not launched a pan-India helpline number 104 and mentioned that this number is used for various helpline services in some other states.
Fact-check: A state-specific 'Blood on Call' (104) service in Maharashtra is being shared as a Pan-Indian service - FACTLY
Verdict: '104' helpline was launched for the 'blood on call' service only in maharashtra. it is not a pan-indian service. other states use the '104' helpline for providing other services. hence the claim made in the post is misleading.
