Watch: CRPF inducts DRDO-developed bike ambulance, Rakshita, for remote areas

Twenty-one 'bike ambulances' developed by the DRDO were inducted into the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) on January 18 for casualty evacuation tasks in remote areas and insurgency-affected areas.

The customised 'Rakshita' ambulances have been created on 350cc Royal Enfield Classic bikes by the Institute of Nuclear Medicine and Allied Sciences (INMAS), a scientific research body under the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO).

CRPF chief A P Maheshwari said the bikes will be used insurgency-hit areas for evacuating sick or injured troops of the paramilitary force.

The bike's pillion has been customised as a casualty evacuation seat with recline and has a hand immobiliser and harness jacket.

The vital parameters of the patient can be monitored on the dashboard mounted LCD.

It is also equipped with air splint, medical and oxygen kit for on spot medical care.
