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.
The Central government is deploying 90 additional Central Force companies to Manipur to address renewed violence in the state. CRPF Director-General Kuldeep Singh, who also serves as the Security Advisor in Manipur, announced the deployment. This decision reflects the escalating tensions in the region and the government's urgent efforts to restore order and maintain peace amid ongoing conflicts.

Manipur is once again plunged into chaos as violence escalates between Kuki insurgents and security forces. In a deadly encounter in Jiribam district, at least 11 suspected Kuki militants were shot dead by security forces after a violent attack on a Meitei farmer and a CRPF camp. As the region reels from the bloodshed, Naga groups have condemned the attack and imposed an indefinite blockade. In response, authorities have imposed a total curfew in an attempt to restore order. With ethnic tensions running high, the situation in Manipur remains volatile, with ongoing clashes threatening the fragile peace in the region.
