Delhi's Green Corridors Revolutionize Organ Transportation, Saving Lives
Imagine needing a new organ to live.
The quicker the organ gets to you, the better.
Delhi's traffic police have created special 'green corridors' to help with this.
These are traffic-free routes for ambulances carrying organs.
Police watch traffic in real-time and manually control signals.
This cuts down travel time dramatically.
One trip took just 15 minutes over 18km!
Because the organ gets there faster, more people get a second chance at life.
The Delhi Traffic Police's green corridors create traffic-free routes for ambulances carrying organs.
These corridors significantly reduce organ transportation time, improving transplant success.
On March 20, 2024, an 18km route from IGI airport to AIIMS took 15 minutes.
On May 3, 2024, a 28km route from Shalimar Bagh to Saket took 40 minutes.
The initiative involves coordination, traffic monitoring, and manual signal control.
