Employees threaten strike: Govt shortlists 3 private bidders for its CATS ambulance project

Delhi govt, on January 9, had invited expression of interest (EOIs) EOIs from private players to run its soon-to-be expanded fleet of about 265 ambulances and its upgraded modernised control room.



The Delhi government has shortlisted three bidders for its Centralised Accident and Trauma Services (CATS) ambulance system project, whereby a private player will be roped in to operate and maintain the fleet. The bidders have now been asked to send a request for proposal (RPF). However, contractual employees of CATS have threatened a strike over the issue and said the AAP government was “going against its poll promise of privatising essential services”.
