Girls Making More Prank Calls Than Boys

According to a recent survey by Rescue 1122 Punjab it has been revealed that girls are making more prank calls to Rescue 1122 than boys.This is a strange and true figure that really can change a person mind who only think boys done this.

The Punjab Emergency Service, Rescue 1122 received a total of 1,088,235 obnoxious/irrelevant calls (that’s over a million calls) at emergency number 1122 since its inception in District Rawalpindi.

The data revealed that 1,088,235 obnoxious calls included 537,623 calls from girls, 462,705 from boys, 32,437 from kids, 2,460 musical calls, 51,450 abusing calls and 1,560 were obnoxious/irrelevant calls.

The main reason for this rise in prank calls from girls is mainly due to more freedom that they have got in our society as compared to the past, opines a psychologist.

It’s not that Rescue 1122 isn’t taking any action against such unwanted callers. But the overall number still continues to increase, and hence Emergency Service 1122 is often compelled to take necessary legal action which includes imprisonment for six months or fine of Rs. 50,000 or both.

In addition, Rescue 1122 is always in touch with PTA to get those numbers blocked that originate prank calls. Registration of FIR and legal action is however the last option that the emergency service takes.
