My name is Jayant Rangari. I am calling from Dantewada district of Chhattisgarh. I am noticing today that 108 ambulances are standing from last 4 hours in front of a petrol pump. When I checked about it the officials told me that they can take diesel from only this pump which does not have any generator back up. As you know Dantewada is a sensitive area and if any incident takes place then the ambulances will not be able to help the victims. Authorities should look into this problem.
