HYDERABAD: At a time when there is a
severe shortage in the availability of ambulances, Cyberabad police in coordination with several IT & ITES companies started 12 free
ambulances in the city.
Rachakonda police too on Saturday launched a free cab service for senior citizens and pregnant women with the support of corporate companies.
During the launch, Cyberabad police commissioner
VC Sajjanar said that this initiative was started after they came to know about the shortage of ambulances and needy people being charged exorbitant fees. “Cases will be registered against those who charge patients exorbitantly while extending ambulance services. People can contact police, if they are exploited by anyone,’’
Sajjanar said.
He and members of
Society for Cyberabad Security Council (
SCSC) said that in the coming days, a few more ambulances will be added to the existing 12 vehicles. IT companies and few hospitals came forward in sponsoring ambulances, which will be sent for both
Covid and non-Covid patients. People who are in need of an ambulance should contact 9490617440 or 9490617431.
Rachakonda CP Mahesh
Bhagwat said a prominent company will operate free cab service 24x7.
