A six-member crew of the 108 ambulance service on Monday attended the labour of a tribal woman near Sirumugai in Coimbatore district and took a coracle ride across a river to take the newborn to the nearest primary health centre.
The ambulance crew stationed at Mettupalayam received a call at 6.25 a.m. from Melur, a tribal village near Sirumugai.
Two ambulances were immediately dispatched to the location.
Everyone talks about the Airport Metro, but one look at the pillars and completion seems nowhere in sight. Meanwhile, a faster, cheaper, roomier alternative called the Suburban Rail Airport Corridor is finally getting off the drawing board. This dedicated corridor with its specialised coaches will link the airport to vast stretches of Bengaluru, where the metro connection is still years away.
