No value for life

It is heart wrenching to see a man in Pondicherry who literally bled to his death. because of lack of medical transport at a major train station. To rub salt in the wound, he was transported in a tricycle. There are so many Indians who die a tragic death like this.

There are no modes of public transport from the train station even though the station is inside the city.The ambulance service in most of the cities are associated with some major hospitals and has different phone numbers to reach them. The golden time to transport an accident victim is orphaned by such a complex process. Until the government comes up with an integrated emergency response apparatus through out the country there will absolutely be no value for life.
