Panipat: no ambulance or doctor at state-level under-11 sports meet, two players hurt
At a state-level under-11 school sports event in Panipat, Haryana, no ambulance or doctor was posted; coaches gave first aid to two injured players.
No ambulance was available and no doctor was posted at the ground on the first day of the state-level Under-11 school sports competition at Arya PG College in Panipat, Haryana, according to Amar Ujala.
Two players were injured during the event and were given first aid by coaches, the report said. It also noted that water from coolers and tanks ran out about two hours after play began, so players bought bottled water with their own money.
Coaches and teachers from Kaithal, Charkhi Dadri and other districts praised the arrangements for lodging and venues, which were mostly within about 500 metres of each other. Ravindra Antil, Assistant Education Officer, Panipat, said details of venues, lodging and food were sent to teams in advance and that no player was inconvenienced.
Why it matters for ambulance owners and drivers
- The report shows that organisers of large events may lack an on-site ambulance.
