108 Ambulance — 108 ambulance missing!

Address:

Dakshina Kannada, Karnataka, 574212

I am reporting this complaint from bellare of sullia taluk in dakshina kannada district in karnataka. Bellare is a second business hub of sullia taluk with moderate population to its ranks. After a long struggle from local organisations, bellare got its 108 ambulance 3 years back. It was all well and good providing very good service in the locality. However, problems started arising for the past 1 year when the new 108 vehicle from bellare was shifted to kukke subramanya. There was no 108 service in bellare for next 3 months. Once again after huge protests 108 services were resumed after 3 months. However, the vehicle provided was a very old one which was in devastating condition. No proper headlights, worn out tyres, body ratling sounds, without any emergency equipments etc. The vehicle had to move to garage once in 2 days for repairs. Apart from that, only one driver and one emergency medical technician were operating for the past 1 year or so. A 24/7 service was limited to only to day service since then. Problems grew up when the emt met with an accident and only driver was left to provide service 3 months back. Now, the problems have worsened with 108 ambulance in garage for the last 10 days. There is no emergency service in bellare as of now. I request the concerned ones to take immediate action and provide a sophisticated 108 ambulance with 24 hours to this rural area which is one of the basic needs of the people. Please do not test the patience of people & play with public's life. I once again plead to restore the ambulance services in bellare.
