Govt should come clear on 108 service: Congress

Published on: 

Expressing concern on the end of the contract of the 108 ambulance service on March 8, the state Congress said  that the state government  must make things clear on  how the vital service would continue  in the state after this date. The state Congress spokesperson Garima Dassauni said that the  fate of 750 employees of the ambulance is hanging in balance as notices of removal have been served to them.    She said that 108 Ambulance service is a classic example of how a good service is derailed by the  government’s apathy. Dassauni said that the state government officials are saying that the contract of the old company would be extended for the few days. “But it is unlikely that in the absence of the budget, GVK EMRI would show interest to operate the service,” she said.
