Strike by 108 Ambulance Workers Over But Issues Remain - Punjab


Chandigarh: The flash strike by workers of Emergency ambulance service 108 on June 24 Monday may have been resolved for the time-being but the issues raised by the employees continue to linger on.

The strike seriously affected Emergency services throughout the state, putting patients and their attendants through a lot of inconvenience. The employees of the service argue that the 108 emergency ambulance service is a multi- crore business venture and costs the Union and state governments a whopping Rs 28 crore every year. This means that Rs 7.67 lakh is being spent per day on running this service for the people of Punjab and the state government is also spending Rs 1.18 lakh per month on each ambulance as operational expenses.
