* **Emergency Number:** Dial 112 for the unified emergency response (Police, Fire, Ambulance). * **Tourist Police:** Dedicated tourist police kiosks are stationed near major attractions in Bengaluru, Mysuru, and Hampi to assist visitors. * **Safety Tips for Visitors:** Always check if photography is allowed before taking out your camera (many state museums prohibit flash photography to protect artifacts). Keep personal belongings secure in crowded spaces like the Visvesvaraya Industrial and Technological Museum, which sees heavy footfall.
