Private ambulance operators have been charging exorbitantly to transport patients to hospitals or carrying bodies to the crematorium. While the 108 emergency service is for free, it is not readily available to patients owing to the rise in the number of patients. Anil Kumar, an 108 ambulance operator said there were around 22 such ambulances in the district and for the past 45 days, each ambulance was ferrying 6-8 patients every day. The private operators have been minting money out of the miserable situation due to the pandemic.
Ranging from Rs 1,500-Rs 3,000, the ambulance service operators are charging exorbitant rates in the town. Extra hundreds are added if the ambulances are carrying patients across the city borders. Unreasonable rates are also sought from people for carrying the bodies of Covid-19 patients to crematoriums.

Supplied photo. It would be 90 minutes before rescuers cut him out, and he was taken to hospital unconscious. “My skull was cracked and my eye badly damaged.” It was not until he was visited in Oxford Hospital, where he spent two weeks, and was visited by a priest that he would get any idea of what happened. One of the engines in the twin engine bomber had caught fire and the inexperienced pilot had not been able to keep the plane even as he attempted to land.
