Life at stake as encroachments delay
ambulance on Usman Road service lane
By Our Staff Reporter
An ambulance shifting a
critical patient to a hospital
was struck in traffic for more
than 30 minutes due to road-
side encroachments on Usman
Road service lane (T. Nagar)
on Aug. 28.
Traffic personnel nearby
came to the rescue to clear the
traffic.
The vendors who showed a
lackadaisical attitude adjusted
their carts to make way for the
ambulance.
The patient’s relatives
pleaded with the vendors and
other vehicles to make way for
the ambulance.
Watch tower erected to regulate
traffic near Usman Road flyover
