Patna to Launch Manhole Ambulances for Safety and Repairs
Imagine the city has a problem: broken manholes.
To fix it, the city of Patna is creating special 'manhole ambulances'.
These are like quick response teams in old vehicles, each with people and tools to repair manholes right away.
If you see a problem, you call a special phone number.
The ambulance will come to fix it within two days, especially before the monsoon rains start.
This helps keep people safe and shows the city is trying new ways to fix problems.
