New Delhi: If you spot an accident or meet with one on Delhi-Jaipur highway, you just need to call 1033 to get an ambulance. The service scheduled to start in the next fortnight will be managed by a call centre which will be linked to 11 life support ambulances on this 260-km stretch.
A top road transport and highways ministry official said that at least 390 signage on this stretch will be placed mentioning the toll-free telephone number. "The department of telecom has allotted this number for emergency calls across the all national highways. We are now pursuing the plan to see that people can use this number all over the country. The beginning would be made on Delhi-Jaipur highway where we are trying to ensure quick arrival of ambulances on spot. If people don't get ambulances in time, the toll-free number has no use," he added. |
