ꦯ'Hospital on Wheels' for street animals – the first of its kind facility in Jharkhand- has now been made available by CIL arm Central Coalfields Ltd, an official said.

💮The vehicle, with state-of-the-art medical equipment and onboard veterinarians, will bring healthcare directly to  vulnerable animals in streets, parks, villages and neighbourhoods, the official said.

🌠The initiative has been launched under the corporate social responsibility of the mining company. 

🐎The 24 x 7 animal ambulance-cum- emergency response vehicle was flagged off by Director(Personnel ), Central Coalfields Limited, Harsh Nath Mishra, on Friday. 

ไThe facility will not only offer on-site treatment to injured and sick street animals in the state capital Ranchi but will also visit different command districts of CCL  to immunise, sterilise and conduct sensitisation-cum- awareness campaigns. 

⛦"This extraordinary endeavour also promises to address the issue of rescue and rehabilitation of affected/injured animals,”  the official said.

🌱The ambulance will be run by the Helping Organisation for People, Environment (HOPE) and Animal Trust.
