Dial 108 team will complain to the police about people making fake calls to call 108 ambulances as the list has been prepared by the team.

Under the list, the top 10 people have made 16,434 time fake calls to 108  between January and June. In the last 7 months, more than 4 lakh fake calls have been made on 108.

108 officials said that soon we are going to complain about this matter to the police. Because due to such fake calls our team has to face many problems.

In the last 7 months, about 63,32,374 lakh calls have been received on the service of 108 ambulances, out of which 4,25,034 calls are fake. According to the 108 ambulance team, our team wastes about 10 seconds on every fake call. These callers often call to talk to the people present at the call centre. Sometimes they start abusing directly. Most of the calls are made by these people in the morning. Sometimes they also give wrong information related to emergency at the call center.

According to the officials of 108 ambulance teams, 110 seater call centers are available in 108 call centers in Bhopal. In this, work is done in three shifts. Apart from this, more than 2,000 108 ambulances run across the state. All these are available 24 hours. According to the officials, only one youth in the top-10 people has made about 10,000 calls in 7 months.

According to the information, whoever makes a fake call to the 108 ambulance team, his number is blocked by the team for the next 48 hours. Due to increasing number of fake calls, the team of 108 has now decided to lodge a complaint with the police. It is being told that many times block youths start calling from other numbers as well. At the same time, even after the number is unblocked, these people call again.

Tarun Singh Parihar, Senior Manager of 108 said, a list of top-10 people has been prepared by our team. A complaint will be made to the police soon. 108 ambulance service is an emergency helpline. So our appeal is please contact 108 Ambulance in case of medical emergency only when needed, do not unnecessarily busy this line. From your very first day there is a problem in getting service to the needy. Please support us in providing better facilities to all in need.
