Naidu Not Shifted In 108 Ambulance
Although EMRI received a call about his accident, Yerran Naidu was taken to hospital in a normal ambulance by the time a 108 ambulance reached the spot.
GVK EMRI on Sunday clarified that former union minister K Yerran Naidu was not shifted in a 108 Ambulance after he met with an accident in the early hours of Friday.
Addressing a press conference, Siddarth Bhattacharya, GVK EMRI Chief Operating Officer and Special Officer 108 Service, said that EMRI had received a call about the accident at 02:17:52 AM on Friday. He said that a 108 ambulance had reached the accident spot near Ranasthalam within eight minutes. However, he said, Yerran Naidu was already taken to a hospital in another ambulance by that time.
Bhattacharya said that the 108 ambulance sent for Yerran Naidu had an oxygen cylinder and other basic first-aid facilities. He said that two other injured persons including Sitaram Naidu were shifted to a hospital in the ambulance.
Denying charges of negligence, he said there was no lapse on the part of EMRI or 108 Services in dealing with the Yerran Naidu's accident.
Bhattacharya also gave a demo of the functioning of 108 Services at the GVK EMRI headquarters at Shamirpet. (INN)
