India Overhauls Ambulance Network with Heavy Fines

India Overhauls Ambulance Network with Heavy Fines

The Indian government is making big changes to its public ambulance services.

They are introducing new rules to make sure ambulances arrive on time and are well-maintained.

If ambulances are late, there will be a fine of ₹20 for every minute of delay.

Ambulances that are more than 15 years old will be taken out of service.

The government is also planning to add 3,800 electric ambulances to the fleet.

These changes are part of a larger plan to improve healthcare services across the country.
