According superintendent of LMCH – Dr Raktim Borgohain, private ambulances are not allowed to be parked inside the medical college premise and hence they park outside the campus.
Several local residents complained that the particular ambulance, parked near the main gate of LMCH, never move and has become a hub for illicit and immoral activities.
Locals allege that the ambulance parked in the area has created nuisance for the public as few youths gather in the vehicle and consume alcohol and other illegal substances.
