New Delhi [India], August 5 : In yet another exemplary display of dedication and public service, the Traffic staff of Traffic Circle Karol Bagh successfully created a Green Corridor on Tuesday to facilitate swift transportation of a liver transplant patient from Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, New Delhi, to IGI Airport, Terminal-4, enabling the patient to board a flight to Hyderabad for a life-saving liver transplant surgery.
According to an official release, at about 4:30 PM, information was received regarding the requirement of a Green Corridor for Chauhan, who was scheduled to leave Sir Ganga Ram Hospital at 6:00 PM. HC Sunny contacted the liaison officer, Tarun, and created a WhatsApp group for real-time coordination among all concerned officials.
HC Hemraj and HC Sukhvinder, from Karol Bagh Traffic Circle, escorted the ambulance on motorcycles. HC Mahender Singh managed traffic clearance, while Ct Pradeep Nain and Ct Pankaj monitored the live traffic congestion and coordinated with the concerned traffic circles.

The efforts of Delhi Traffic Police were very well appreciated by the family of the patient.
