After receiving a call, Care24 will send a Care Van to help people in an inebriated state to get back on their feet. These vans will be stationed close to prominent city pubs in areas around Bandra and Lower Parel. Pub owners have been informed about this facility in advance so they can avail of it before things get unpleasant and the New Year's Eve party becomes a dampener.
According to Ankit Agrawal, in charge of this initiative by Care24, said, ''December 31 is all about indulgence and revelry. But a little too much and the party can become a nightmare. We just want to reach out and reassure Mumbaiites that there's someone to take care of them and their loved ones when the situation gets out of hand.
