And what were you doing ? Watching the show so you can come back to Canada and post it on CD. Some reporter, eh!

A snr citizen got into a accident while boarding a bus, he somehow sliped and fell from the footboard and became uncons. The bus fled leaving him behind, a crowd gathered, but nobody came forward to take this old man to the hospital. Ultimately, the cops arrived in a Mahindra jeep to take this man to a hospital after a good 45 mins. I dont know whether he survived or not

What I meant by 911 service in NA is the scale and speed that they respond with here, compared to something that's available in India, that too only in a few states. We all know how it works there....ever seen an ambulance with emergency lights on being given right of way in India????
You are being ignorant, not me!!

In gujarat and many other places we have 180.

Check this http://www.emri.in/content/view/24/59/

I cannot say for other states, however, this service works fine in gujarat. Soem dated news on this service. http://www.thaindian.com/newsportal/uncategorized/150000-emergencies-handled-by-gujarats-108-project_10090236.html

It is very easy to point out the short comings of a country and even easier to be ignorant.

One thing I forgot to mention in my earlier post is that India, a so called upcoming super-power does not have anything called 911, not even in the metro cities.

One incident worth mentioning:

A snr citizen got into a accident while boarding a bus, he somehow sliped and fell from the footboard and became uncons. The bus fled leaving him behind, a crowd gathered, but nobody came forward to take this old man to the hospital. Ultimately, the cops arrived in a Mahindra jeep to take this man to a hospital after a good 45 mins. I dont know whether he survived or not
