UP three-day drive challans 772 ambulances and seizes 135 across the state
Uttar Pradesh's transport department challaned 772 unfit or unauthorised ambulances and seized 135 during a drive on 5, 6 and 7 October, officials said.
The Uttar Pradesh transport department challaned 772 ambulances and seized 135 during a three-day statewide drive against unfit and unauthorised ambulances, Amar Ujala reported on 10 October. The drive ran on 5, 6 and 7 October.
Transport Commissioner Ashutosh Niranjan said the action was taken on the directions of Transport Minister Dayashankar Singh to ensure road safety. The report says that patients are being carried in unfit ambulances, which keeps the risk of accidents high, and describes the operation of unfit and unauthorised ambulances as a serious threat to patient safety.
The commissioner asked vehicle owners to keep all necessary records ready, including a valid permit, registration and fitness certificate. He said the campaign against illegal and unfit vehicles will continue.
Why it matters for ambulance owners and drivers
- Checks are continuing, so permit, registration and fitness papers should be valid and carried in the vehicle.
- Vehicles without proper documents face challans and seizure, as the figures show.
