The Nilgiris: For the first time in the Nilgiris district, the Minister of Forests K. Ramachandran and District Collector J. Innocent Divya on Saturday launched an auto ambulance service for the public on behalf of a private voluntary organization in Coonoor.
Twenty three 108 ambulances are being operated to take patients to government hospitals in the Nilgiris district. In this regard 108 Ambulances are playing a major role in bringing the victims of coronavirus epidemic and road accidents to the hospital in different parts of the district.
As the demand for ambulances has increased at present, Radhika Shastri, a volunteer with the participation of various organizations, has provided 6 mini ambulances in the form of auto with various facilities including oxygen. The service was launched by Forest Minister K. Ramachandran and District Administrator Innocent Divya for public use.

At the event, Minister K. Ramachandran distributed a package of rice, pulses and cooking oil to about 500 Northern State workers on private school premises. This was followed by the distribution of rice to 200 families affected by the corona epidemic in the Coonoor catchment area.
The project has been well received by the general public as the auto ambulance service is very effective in transporting patients on narrow roads.
