Emergency Ambulance Service for Those in Need

Raipur : Under the guidance of Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai and the directives of Health Minister Shri Shyam Bihari Jaiswal, continuous efforts are being made to enhance healthcare facilities in the state. In the same sequence, the bike ambulance service was introduced by the district administration in the inaccessible villages of Kota block, Bilaspur district. This service has proven to be a boon for the people of these remote villages. This initiative, led by Collector Mr. Avneesh Sharan, aims to extend healthcare services to the villages of Kota block through the 'Sangwari Express' bike ambulance service.

Currently, four bike ambulances are operational, providing round-the-clock transportation to hospitals for those in need. Due to the challenging geographical conditions of a large part of Kota block, it is often impossible to access these areas by road. In emergency situations, the bike ambulance has become an excellent free transportation medium for villagers to travel to and from hospitals. The 'Sangwari Express' bike is designed like a mini-ambulance, capable of transporting a patient to the hospital without inconvenience. Like other ambulance services provided by the state government for public health, this facility is also entirely free. The bike ambulance has proved to be a blessing, especially for pregnant women and others residing in the remote forest areas of Kota block.

Assistance to Thousands of Patients

Since the bike ambulance service was commenced in Kota block, 1,339 patients have directly benefited from it, including patients from all categories. The service has reached 385 patients at Shivtarai PHC, 322 at Belgahna PHC, 366 at Kenda PHC, and 266 in Amagaon. Pregnant women from forest areas are transported to centers for institutional deliveries, and postpartum mothers are safely taken home after delivery using these bike ambulances.

Beneficial for Children As Well

The bike ambulance is also used for the regular health check-ups of pregnant mothers, vaccination of children, and treatment of seasonal illnesses. Villagers express their gratitude to the government for this facility. They state that previously, the lack of transportation made it challenging to access medical care, but the bike ambulance service has alleviated these difficulties. Mrs. Roshni from Bagdhara village shared that she was taken to the hospital for delivery using the bike ambulance, and this facility is indeed very beneficial for the villagers. Mrs. Ishwari Gond from Mohli village expressed her gratitude for the bike ambulance service, stating that it has proven to be life-saving.

She was transported to the Amagaohan Government Hospital at 11 PM for delivery using the bike ambulance. She further said that because of this service, both she and her baby are completely safe. Mr. Mahesh Dhanwad, a 27-year-old from Tuluf Gram Panchayat, was bitten by a snake and was immediately taken to the hospital using the bike ambulance. He is healthy today because of the prompt treatment he received.

Urban Bodies to be Made Energy Efficient; Energy Audits to Address Deficiencies

Deputy Chief Minister Mr. Arun Sao gives instructions regarding Electricity Bills and Energy Audits Across All Urban Bodies

Emphasis on Use of Solar Energy Over Conventional Energy Sources; Aims to Reduce Energy Expenditure and Improve the Environment

Third-Party Professional Agencies to Conduct Electricity Bill and Energy Audits in Urban Bodies

Raipur : Deputy Chief Minister and Minister of Urban Administration and Development, Mr. Arun Sao, has issued instructions regarding electricity bills and energy audits in all the 184 urban bodies of the state. He has directed that the conventional energy should be replaced with solar energy wherever possible. Addressing the officials of the Urban Administration Department, he highlighted that due to a lack of funds in many bodies, electricity bills are not paid on time, leading to unnecessary surcharges and arrears payments each year. Conducting audits on energy and electricity bills will facilitate cost-saving measures. Mr. Sao emphasized promoting green energy use in urban bodies to save on electricity costs and improve the environment. He has directed a phased approach to have energy audits conducted by third-party professional agencies.

Urban bodies have acquired a large number of electricity connections for public amenities such as drinking water supply and street lighting. The Electricity Department has installed thousands of meters in all the 184 urban bodies of the state. These meters are read monthly, and accordingly bills are issued to the urban bodies. Each month, significant amounts are spent on electricity dues, and sometimes additional payments are made as surcharges and arrears. Annually, approximately Rs 100 crores to Rs 200 crores are transferred to the Electricity Department for adjusting electricity bills in urban bodies. Currently, about ₹800 crores of pending payments are increasing surcharge amounts.

Considering this situation, Deputy Chief Minister Mr. Arun Sao, in a departmental review meeting, instructed officials to audit electricity bills and conduct energy audits of urban bodies. This will allow for a clear assessment of actual electricity consumption and unnecessary surcharge payments. Post-audit, policies will be developed to reduce electricity consumption and establish solar energy plants. Over the long term, reducing electricity consumption and installing solar energy plants could save approximately ₹800 crores to ₹1,000 crores. Additionally, urban bodies will gain carbon credits through the use of green energy. Mr. Sao stated that the savings could fund infrastructure development and new schemes to provide basic amenities to citizens. Incorporating solar energy into energy management and reducing thermal energy use will also promote environmental sustainability.

Instructions for Maximizing Solar Energy Use to Make Urban Bodies Energy Efficient; Pilot Project Plan Underway

Deputy Chief Minister Mr. Arun Sao has instructed that urban bodies be made energy efficient through the maximum utilization of solar energy. The Urban Administration Department is preparing a pilot project plan to gather accurate data on electricity consumption in urban bodies through energy audits. These audits will identify real consumption, irregularities, and deficiencies in the system, and analyze electricity dues. This will promote the use of energy-efficient devices, economize dues through reduced consumption, and adopt alternative arrangements like solar energy systems in a phased manner. The Government of India has also initiated innovative schemes like PM KUSUM, PM Suryodaya, and PM Suryaghar to promote solar energy use over conventional energy.
