Amethi Diwali 2025: As people gear up to celebrate Diwali in Amethi, emergency services have been placed on high alert. The 108 and 102 ambulance services will remain operational round the clock to assist anyone in need of urgent medical help. The ambulance service provider has directed all vehicles and staff to stay prepared and respond swiftly to emergency calls.
Officials said that anyone requiring medical assistance can contact the emergency helpline with just a single call. The move comes as a precautionary measure, considering the rise in burn and injury cases usually reported during the festival.
