Bhubaneswar: As Odisha prepares to celebrate Diwali on October 20, 2025, the EMRI Green Health Services, operating the 108 Emergency Medical Ambulance Service, has taken special preparedness measures to ensure prompt emergency medical response across the state.
Anticipating potential emergencies like burn injuries, respiratory distress, accidental fires, and road traffic mishaps, the 108 Ambulance Service has enhanced its operational readiness to respond effectively and minimise the impact of any unfortunate incidents.
Key Preparedness Initiatives:
* Strategic Deployment in High-Risk Areas: The ambulances will be stationed in identified hotspot zones across major districts where firecracker-related and road accident cases are more likely to occur. This will help in faster response and
