Bike Ambulance Service

A two-year-old girl was seen taken on a bike from a hospital after hospital authorities denied the family ambulance service to take her body.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal launched the fleet of 16 bikes at Delhi Secretariat along with Health Minister Satyendar Jain. This will reduce the ambulance response time in congested areas and J.J. clusters in East Delhi (East, North East and Shahdara).

Against the sanctioned funds of Rs 40 lakh, the project of bike ambulances was completed at Rs 23 lakh, Delhi government said.

Three people, including a couple, were killed on Monday as a speeding ambulance lost control and knocked down a bike and a bicycle in West Bengal's Birbhum district, police said.

Buoyed by the "exceptional" response to the free bike ambulance service in Mumbai, the Maharashtra government is now planning to raise the number of these vehicles in the city and run similar services in some tribal-dominated regions in the state, like Palghar.

After his teen son died at a hospital in Uttar Pradesh, his father was offered no transport to return home. Devastated, the man carried his 15-year-old's body first on his shoulders and then on a bike in Etawah in the western part of the state till he reached his village, seven kilometres away.
