8 May
Summary
- Krishna Sharma provides free ambulance services to the poor.
- He has saved over 1,200 accident victims in eight years.
- Sharma's mission began after his mother's death in 2018.
For the past eight years, Krishna Sharma, affectionately known as 'Ambulance Sharma', has been a vital lifeline for victims of road accidents along the Patna-Buxar National Highway (NH-922). Operating from Pratapsagar village in Buxar, Sharma, who also owns a furniture shop, has successfully aided in saving over 1,200 injured individuals through prompt medical transport.
Sharma's humanitarian efforts intensified after his mother's death on October 2, 2018, when a delayed ambulance response proved fatal. Deeply impacted, he purchased an ambulance with his savings the following month, vowing to prevent similar tragedies. He offers free ambulance services to impoverished patients and those with critical injuries, facilitating their transfer to medical facilities in Patna and Varanasi.
Locals report that Sharma often arrives at accident scenes before emergency services, alerted by a network of contacts. He views the gratitude of those he helps as his greatest reward, considering his service a daily tribute to his mother. The Dumraon Sub-Divisional Magistrate, Rakesh Kumar, has lauded Sharma's selfless dedication to serving humanity.
