Now past 50 years of age, Haque ferries sick villagers to the hospital on his bike, aptly earning him the name \u201cBike Ambulance Dada\u201d.\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Karimul&amp;apos;s medical motorcycle diaries: A tea garden worker\u2019s &amp;apos;bike ambulance&amp;apos; | Jalpaiguri\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6AdcwVjoTCU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\u201cShe (his mother) died at home. I tried my best but could not get an ambulance for her. After her death, I thought about the problem that thousands of people in the remote areas of Malbazar, particularly in forest villages and tea estates, face. I realised many people, particularly the poor, often die for lack of proper treatment,\u201d the tea plantation worker explained the idea behind the bike ambulance to <em><a href=\"https:\/\/yourstory.com\/2018\/01\/karimul-saved-4k-lives-bike-ambulance?utm_pageloadtype=scroll\">The Telegraph<\/a><\/em>.\n\nFour years later when a co-worker fell ill, Haque borrowed his manager\u2019s bike and took him to hospital. \u201cTo be able to save a life is heartening,\u201d he told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehindu.com\/society\/rider-on-a-storm-how-jalpaiguris-bike-ambulance-dada-ferries-patients-from-the-remotest-areas\/article32041093.ece\"><em>The Hindu<\/em><\/a>. He hasn\u2019t looked back since.\n\nFollowing the incident, he continued to ferry people to hospitals and clinics on his cycle. In 2007, he borrowed \u20b97,000 from his neighbour to get himself a second-hand motorbike to continue his service. He later took a bank loan to finance a TVS110. Over the two decades, Haque has saved more than 5,500 lives across nearly 20 villages of West Bengal. What\u2019s more? The selfless man, who barely earned \u20b94,000 a month from his tea estate job, offers his services for free. Haque would simply set aside half his meagre salary for fuel and other bike-related costs, and to repay his bank loan.\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet tw-align-center\" data-conversation=\"none\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">From his tea estate job, he earns Rs. 4,000 a month. He keeps aside 25% of his salary for fuel and other costs of running the bike, and another 25% is spent in repaying a bank loan. Karimul does not hanker for more money; he believes that Allah will reward him for his work. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/PZuwG9Skqf\">pic.twitter.com\/PZuwG9Skqf<\/a><\/p>\u2014 People&#8217;s Archive of Rural India (@PARInetwork) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PARInetwork\/status\/1321330240837292032?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 28, 2020<\/a><\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n\nFor more than 20 years now, Bike Ambulance Dada and his services have been the lifeline for the sick and poor.

A year prior, Haque was also gifted a bike with a sidecar by Bajaj. With the donations that poured in following his selfless service, the Bike Ambulance Dada now also owns two regular four-wheel ambulances, for which patients pay a minimal fare to cover fuel costs. However, the bike which Haque rides himself continues to be free.\n\nOne would\u2019ve thought that the Covid-19 crisis would deter his spirits, but Haque was only further motivated to serve the less fortunate in these times. Since the lockdown, Haque along with his sons and relatives has extended his services to providing dry rations to nearly 1,000 people and cooked meals to 200 quarantined migrant workers. He has hired people to cook at his own house for the same.\n\nA humble Haque thanks his generous donors for their support over the years. \u201cIt is the donors who are the main force, helping me help thousands of needy people,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m only a foot soldier.\u201d\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Compassion can make the world go around, and Karimul Haque from Jalpaiguri district in West Bengal is living proof.
