‘Mann ki Baat’<\/strong><\/div>\n
PM Modi mentions Tariq Patloo whose personal covid battle inspires boatman to design floating ambulance<\/strong><\/div>\n
SRINAGAR, 27 JUNE,2021-<\/strong><\/div>\n
Necessity is the mother of invention: it holds true for Tariq Ahmad Patloo, whose struggle in getting timely transportation to the shore of Dal lake during his covid illness, prompted him to design his own Shikara as a water ambulance in order to ferry patients like him to Dal Lake\u2019s shore.<\/div>\n
Patloo has expressed happiness after Prime Minister Narendra Modi praised his efforts for running a floating ambulance service in famous Dal Lake amid COVID-19 pandemic.<\/div>\n
During his monthly \u2018Mann Ki Baat\u2019 program, PM Modi appreciated Patloo\u2019s novel idea of boat ambulance.<\/div>\n
\u201cI extend my gratitude to PM Modi Ji for mentioning my efforts during his programme \u2018Mann Ki Baat\u201d. The appreciation from him is a great honour and means a lot for me. I hope the mention of my work in the programme will benefit my community who face a lot of problems during the ongoing pandemic,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n
While mentioning Patloo and his floating ambulance PM Modi said that there are many people in our country who have come forward and worked to help the doctors and he has come to know about one such attempt from Srinagar.<\/div>\n
\u201cHere a Boat Ambulance Service was started at Dal Lake. This service was started by Tariq Ahmad Patloo of Srinagar, who is a Houseboat Owner. He himself has also fought the battle with COVID-19 and this inspired him to start the Ambulance Service,\u201d said PM Modi about Patloo\u2019s innovation.<\/div>\n
The PM added that a campaign is also underway to make people aware of this ambulance, and continuous announcements from the ambulance are also being made by him. \u201cThe effort is that people should wear a mask and undertake other necessary precautions too, he said.<\/div>\n
Patloo, who contracted the coronavirus during the first COVID-19 wave in August last year, faced a lot of difficulties to reach the hospital from Dal waters.<\/div>\n
After quarantining himself during the initial days, however, his health deteriorated he was shifted to SMHS Hospital for treatment.<\/div>\n
\u201cI felt helpless in reaching the shore of Dal Lake and to further reach the hospital. It was a difficult time for me and my family,\u201d he recalled.<\/div>\n
This incident etched in his mind for good as he decided to make a boat ambulance to ferry people who might need it during covid illness or any other.<\/div>\n
\u201cWhile recovering at a bed in the hospital I kept thinking about how to make a floating ambulance for all the Dal dwellers who are in need of this kind of facility,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n
Though he didn\u2019t blame anyone as people were scared to come in contact with an infected person, but the incident gave him a lifelong lesson to help people who are in dire need during the health crisis.<\/div>\n
After getting discharged from the hospital, Patloo\u2019s sole objective was to design a floating ambulance for which he got some help from an NGO providing him equipments.<\/div>\n
Patloo\u2019s floating ambulance is equipped with an oxygen concentrator, oxygen cylinder, first aid, stretcher, wheelchair, BP set, and PPE kits.<\/div>\n
\u201cI have a dream to do something big for my community who has suffered a lot in the past three decades. Now, my next step is to make a fire service boat for the people living in Dal Lake,\u201d Patloo said.<\/div>\n
