The decision was taken in protest against the vandalism to ambulance and its drivers by the banda enforcers recently.
"We were forced to take the decision to not run the ambulance service unless security was guaranteed to us as the vandalism and physical assault on ambulance drivers have increased of late," said Secretary of Ambulance Drivers Association Morang Chandra Parajuli.
The banda enforcers had recently vandalised a Nepal Red Cross Society Morang Ambulance (Ko.1Cha.4265). The incident of vandalism and mistreatment has taken place at Katahari, Karsiya, Rangeli, Darbesha and other areas of Mroang, according to the Association. There are a total of 125 ambulance vehicles in service in Morang.
