Lord Shiva Ambulance

Lord Shiva Ambulance operates out of No. 6- A Krishna Enclave in Ashok Vihar Phase- 3. This is where we keep our vehicles parked and where the drivers wait for calls. It’s a residential-feeling area, which is actually quite good for keeping the ambulances ready and accessible. We have a small office space where the phone stays on all the time. Running an ambulance service means there is no real closing time; someone is always here or on call. The vans have to be washed and checked every day to make sure everything is working right, from the oxygen tanks to the stretchers. It is a tough job sometimes, especially during the rainy season when the roads in Ashok Vihar get a bit flooded, but we know the shortcuts around Phase- 3 pretty well. We aren't a big corporation with hundreds of cars, just a local team that knows the city streets. My brother and I started this after seeing how long it took for help to arrive in this neighborhood. We try to keep the engines tuned up and the interior clean. We keep a logbook on the dashboard to track every trip we take through the city. Most of our work comes from word of mouth or people seeing the phone number on the side of the van as we drive past. It’s a straightforward business built on being available when the phone rings.
