IYC to govt: Change name of Sanjeevni 108 to NAS

Raipur, April 18, 2013

Indian Youth Congress (IYC) has asked state government to change name of Sanjeevni 108 express ambulances to national ambulance service (NAS) as directed by the Centre.

“The IYC will launch aggressive agitation in state if the government will not change the name of Sanjeevni 108 by May 1,” said the organisation’s general secretary Vikas Upadhyay on Thursday. 

“The emergency medical transport system is fully sponsored by the Centre under its ambitious scheme – national rural health mission (NRHM). However, the state governments including Chhattisgarh are claiming this scheme as their own and deceiving people. Hence the Centre has asked state governments to name all such ambulances as NAS,” he said.
