Pune: A day after dna reported how the private ambulance driver, who after taking the highway accident victim to a hospital, had demanded a BlackBerry from her accompanying friends as his service charges before allowing the patient to alight, Indira Group of Institutes chairperson Tarita Shankar said that the college would start a 24X7 ambulance service for students.
“I was shocked at how inhuman people can be. If I had met the ambulance driver, I would surely have taught him humanity. Even the students of our college are enraged. But rather than wasting our time in protesting, we thought of doing something constructive,” she said.
The institute already has two ambulances for students for emergencies during the daytime.“We shall start a special helpline linked to two ambulances for our students post-Dasera. If they are stuck in such situations, we would prefer if they called us rather than depending on helplines that don’t respond and vultures like the ambulance driver. We would also extend help to others who are stuck in such situations,” she said. |
