    Patna: Two persons were arrested in Bihar’s Gaya on Monday on the charge of smuggling liquor from Jharkhand, concealed in the coffin of an ambulance, Excise Department officials said.

    The accused, identified as Lalit Kumar Mahto, a resident of Ranchi, and Pankaj Kumar Yadav, a resident of Chatra district in Jharkhand, had put a coffin in an ambulance to smuggle liquor. The excise sleuths have recovered 212 bottles of Indian Made Foreign Liquors of different brands inside the coffin.

    The incident came to light on Monday morning when the accused came from Jharkhand via NH19. They were intercepted at Dobhi check post in Gaya district.

    “We were doing routine checking of vehicles coming from Jharkhand and West Bengal. We have spotted an ambulance coming from NH19. Our personnel stopped the ambulance. When we asked the driver Mahto, he said that a dead body was inside the coffin. When we asked them to open the coffin, they became uncomfortable. When we opened the coffin, 212 liquor bottles of different brands were found in it,” Gaya’s Excise Inspector Dipak Kumar Singh said.

    The accused were booked under relevant sections of liquor prohibition act.

    Liquor has been banned in Bihar since April 2016. Still, smugglers are using different modus operandi to smuggle liquor from neighbouring states like West Bengal, Jharkhand, and Uttar Pradesh. A large number of smugglers also used the Nepal border route to smuggle liquor bottles.

    Amravati: A year-and-a-half after it introduced the programme to provide exclusive veterinary ambulances, equipped with small laboratories, the Andhra Pradesh government Wednesday launched the second phase aimed at providing immediate health care facilities for animals across the state.

    Chief minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy flagged off an additional 165 veterinary ambulance units. With this, the government will be providing quality medical services with a total of 340 veterinary ambulances at a cost of Rs 240.69 crore.

    In addition to primary medical services, the veterinary ambulances are also designed to perform minor surgeries on bovine animals, sheep, goats and pets.

    They also have facilities to load the animal into the ambulance to perform surgery with hydraulic lift. In case of necessity, the animal can be taken to the nearest veterinary area hospital, veterinary polyclinic for better treatment, an official said.

    After treatment, the animal is transported back to livestock farmer’s house at free of cost.

    Chief Minister Jagan had flagged off 175 ambulance units as part of first batch of ‘Dr YSR Sanchara Pasu Aarogya Seva’ (Veterinary Ambulances) with state-of-the-art facilities, in May 2021.

    The state government is providing a minimum of two veterinary ambulances per Assembly Constituency. In phase 1, the government run veterinary services catered to 1,26,559 cattle herders, saving lives of 1,81,791 cattle.

    Apart from the Ambulance services, the government also plans to establish two super specialty hospitals in Vijayawada and Pulivendula along with development of infrastructure facilities in district veterinary hospitals.
