Local people alleged, “We are suffering due to lack of ambulance service. When the authority concerned was asked about re-operating the free ambulance service in Rangapara, we were informed that the service will be re-started very soon by October 26. But this did not happen. We have received information that free 108 ambulance service is available in Tezpur, Thelamara, Garubandha, Jamuguri, Dhalaibil and Dhekiajuli in Sonitpur district and on the other hand, this service is not available at Rangapara, Ghoramari and Bihguri. People of the greater Assam-Aruchal border area, including Balipara, Chariduar and Ghoramari areas, are facing a lot of inconvenience due to non-availability of ambulance service.”
