Delhi Traffic Police creates green corridor, ensures timely transfer of liver transplant patient to IGI Airport
New Delhi, 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.
Despite heavy evening peak-hour traffic, the ambulance covered approximately 20 kilometres from Sir Ganga Ram Hospital to IGI Airport, Terminal-4, in just 20-22 minutes, ensuring timely transportation of the patient for a life-saving liver transplant. The efforts of Delhi Traffic Police were very well appreciated by the family of the patient.
It is worth mentioning that a few months back, Delhi Traffic Police created a similar rapid green corridor to rush injured Delhi Capitals cricketer Lungi Ngidi from the Arun Jaitley Stadium to the hospital in just 11 minutes during an IPL match
Again, the successful operation reflects the professionalism, swift response and commitment of Delhi Traffic Police towards saving lives during medical emergencies, a release added.

This is truly heartwarming. The coordination through WhatsApp group shows how our police are using technology for good. But I wonder, why can't such green corridors be a regular feature for all emergency vehicles? Every life matters, not just during transplants. Still, great job by HC Sunny, Hemraj, and the whole team! 👏
What a wonderful gesture! In a city where we often complain about traffic and pollution, our police force is quietly saving lives. The family must be so relieved. Praying for the patient's successful surgery in Hyderabad. 🙏
Excellent work by Delhi Traffic Police! This is the same professionalism shown during the IPL incident with Lungi Ngidi. But let's also appreciate the civilians who must have cooperated by giving way to the ambulance. It's a team effort between police and citizens. Well done! 👍
Truly inspiring! In times when we hear so much negativity about traffic cops, this is a breath of fresh air. The use of WhatsApp for real-time coordination is a smart move. I hope the liver transplant is successful and the patient lives a long, healthy life. God bless all the officers involved! 🌟
Hats off to the entire team! This shows what our police can achieve with proper planning and coordination. But I'd also like to point out that we need more awareness among the public about giving way to ambulances. Many times, people don't move aside despite sirens. The police can't do it alone - every citizen should be responsible too. Still, a job exceptionally well done! 👏
