Dear All, I received this E-Mail today and I thought i should share with you and make as many people aware of the EMRI-108. Read below to know more about it. Regards Shanta I am sharing my personal experience with “108” (EMRI) on their Quick response. When I travel from Pondicherry to Coimbatore last Sunday (02-08-09) night by Bus, the bus met an accident with lorry in National Highway nearby “Atthur” Landmark: “Paaventhar college of Arts and Science”. Two of my co-passenger got injured. One is lady and second is her baby of 15months old. The lady had an injury in her hand and the baby was motionless. The First-Aid kit is also missing in the bus. The accident happened at mid-night00:57am. On seeing the condition of the baby and mother, I immediately called 108 at 00:59am. Explained the state of injured persons and location of the place, Village, District & Taluk (assisted by a local person). It took around 3minutes. At 01:03am (within a minute) I got a call from 108 with a conference to the district level center explained the exact location and condition of the persons injured. It took around 3minutes. At 01:08am again I got a call from the Ambulance saying that they are on the way to accident spot. To be surprise, the Ambulance reached the spot at 01:17am and started the treatment. The baby was brought to the active state (may be due to timely attempt by 108-EMRI) and medicines given for injured lady. At the end of their treatment both of them came to normal. The EMRI 108 Ambulance reached the spot within 15minutes from the receipt of information to them Here I would likeexpress one thing that except me, none of the co-passengers were not aware of 108. As I am aware of 108 through training given for EMERGENCY EVACUATION DRILL conducted in June ’09,I could help the co-passengers. Kindly share this experience, so that the people can make use of wonderful service provided by EMRI – “108” in TamilNadu.
i thanks for the info as i travel alot by rad from bangalore to tamilnadu. Also from the mobile phone do you dial 108.. or is there any other prefix numbers?
This is an excellent piece of information.I shall definitely pass it to all my friends. Thank you.:2thumbsup: geevee
sorry i read your post only today. i think you have to just dial 108 but in case you do not get the number then prefix 044 before 108 i.e. 044108. i think that answer's your question. Regards Shanta
