with high hopes, maharashtra government had started the bike ambulance service which has come to a screeching halt. when the idea of the scheme came to the fore, it was hailed as a lifeline for remote and tribal areas. these bike ambulances now lie dormant and underfunded. the scheme, launched with fanfare in 2017, aimed at delivering emergency medical assistance to some of maharashtra’s most inaccessible regions. it has now seen its funding cut and its operations have come to a standstill.
