Recently, a picture that shamed humanity came out from Haldwani, which raised many questions on the government and the system.

At the same time, the government was criticized on the matter. After which now CM Dhami has given instructions to make SOP regarding ambulance and air ambulance.

In fact, on December 7, Shivani, who works while living on rent in Haldwani, had to plead with many people to take her brother’s body, but no one’s heart melted after seeing the poor and helpless sister. Shivani did not have enough money to take her brother’s body home in an ambulance. When Shivani talked to many ambulance operators, someone asked for 10 thousand and someone asked for 12 thousand rupees.

In such a situation, due to lack of money, Shivani finally contacted the taxi operator of her village. After this, the vehicle from the village reached Haldwani. After which Shivani tied the body of her brother on the roof of the vehicle and took it to the village. It is being told that along with Shivani, her brother Abhishek also worked in a private company in Haldwani. Abhishek died under suspicious circumstances in Haldwani.

On the other hand, after this entire incident, CM Pushkar Dhami held a high-level meeting. In which all the District Magistrates have been instructed that if any dead body has to be taken from one place to another, then the District Magistrate will make arrangements for it. Such news or pictures should not come out again in future.

Instructions to make SOP

At the same time, in the high-level meeting, CM Dhami has instructed the officials to provide ambulance and air ambulance facilities to the needy on time, for which he has been asked to prepare SOP (Standard Operating Procedure). He also directed that in case of death of any person due to ill health, the District Magistrate of the concerned district will ensure financial assistance to the financially weak families who are unable to perform the last rites or the arrangement for the cremation of the deceased.
