Trichy: The service of the GVK-EMRI '108' ambulances has reached its next level with the installation of automatic vehicle locater transmitter (AVLT) inbuilt with global positioning system (GPS). With the new vehicle tracking system, the free ambulance service is expected to serve the victims even faster.
All the 18 vehicles in the district except the neo-natal ambulance have been fixed with the AVLT-GPS. The tracking system was activated in the ambulances in Trichy, Ariyalur, Perambalur, and Karur earlier this month. "After activating the GPS in our vehicles, we are able to quickly track and respond to the emergency calls," B Ravi Shankar, the district manager of GVK-EMRI told TOI. |
