In an initiative to uplift the health facilities in the tribal areas of Dahanu and Talasari in Palghar district, the National High-Speed Rail Corporation Ltd. (NHSRCL), the implementing agency of the Mumbai-Ahmedabad Bullet train, today, donated a fully equipped modern ambulance, on the occasion of Independence Day on Thursday.

While talking about the initiative General Manager, Operations, NHSRCL Pankaj Uke said, "While communicating with the beneficiaries of the bullet train project in Palghar taluka, we came across the fact that the taluka is in dire need of basic medical facilities. Considering this, we had set up a dispensary in this area and this ambulance, equipped with modern medical machinery is the next step towards this cause. More than just an ambulance, this is a dispensary on its own. The residents from the tribal areas of Dahanu-Talasari will highly benefit from this initiative. The primary objective of NHSRCL is to bring overall development in Palghar district, through which India’s first bullet train will pass. In coming days a skill development programme will be undertaken to ensure that the youth in tribal areas gets more opportunities of employment."
