Gurugram Traffic Police is already providing green corridors for ambulances carrying donated organs which are meant for transplant to different hospitals, saving lives of critical patients, the DCP added.

The new traffic policy, which mandates providing clear path to emergency services vehicles such as ambulances and fire trucks, would help save several other lives who need urgent medical assistance and support at the time of any untoward incident.
