  Ambulance service    
  During a meeting with the Grampanchyat of Kanhe village, the committee on tree plantation realized the dearth of ambulance facility. Kanhe village did not have ambulance facility separately allotted for them and depended on Vadgaon located 6 km away for any ambulance needs. We had a company ambulance facility with oxygen cylinder, stretcher & first aider for transferring injured/seriously ill person from company. Hence we communicated to the Kanhe village Sarpanch that we can provide ambulance for transferring serious patient to local hospital in emergency and non availability of ambulance immediately at the place.
