Jhabua villagers seek permanent 108 ambulance at Nanpur health centre
Villagers in Nanpur, Jhabua district, have asked the Gram Panchayat for a permanent ambulance at the local PHC after a fatal road accident on a state highway.
Residents of Nanpur in Madhya Pradesh's Jhabua district are demanding a permanent ambulance at the Nanpur Primary Health Centre, according to a report by Amar Ujala published on 18 October 2026.
The demand follows a head-on collision between two motorcycles on Saturday night, 17 October, on the Khandwa-Vadodara state highway in front of the Jamod petrol pump near Nanpur. According to the report, two men died and a third was seriously injured.
What villagers want
- A permanent ambulance at the Nanpur PHC, either under the 108 service or another ambulance service
- A vehicle to refer serious patients and to take accident victims to hospital quickly
Villagers submitted an application to the Nanpur Gram Panchayat secretary. The report says the demand is backed by 17 named villagers, including sarpanch representatives, and others. It carries no statement from health officials and no response to the application so far, and it urges the concerned officials to act quickly.
Why it matters for ambulance owners and drivers
The report shows how highway stretches near rural health centres can lack a dedicated ambulance. Requests of this kind from villages often end up with the district health administration, which decides where vehicles are placed.
