The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) would provide preliminary medical aid to the commuters who fall sick while travelling by Metro. If needed, the DMRC will also arrange ambulances for the ailing commuters.
The DMRC will set up special first aid kiosks at main Metro stations during the Commonwealth Games to provide prompt medical services to the Metro commuters.
"We have shortlisted 23 Metro stations which are expected to have a high footfall during the Commonwealth Games. The kiosks will be set up at these stations. Each station will have a four-member team, trained in administering first-aid," said DMRC spokesperson Anuj Dayal.
The DMRC has tied up with St. John Ambulance Brigade, a charitable organisation. Besides first aid, other basic medical facilities such as medicines and checking of blood pressure will also be provided, said a DMRC official. "While the first aid professionals will be from the St. John Ambulance Brigade, the medicines and other related equipment will be provided by the DMRC," said Dayal.
