Tripura's chief minister announced the creation of dedicated green corridors to give ambulances uninterrupted passage, aiming to cut emergency response times across the state.
Tripura's chief minister unveiled a new policy that will establish special green corridors on state roads exclusively for ambulances. Under the scheme, traffic signals and police personnel will be coordinated to ensure that ambulances can move without stopping or detours, thereby reducing the time taken to reach patients.
The initiative is part of the government's broader effort to strengthen emergency medical services, especially in remote and densely populated areas. Officials said the corridors will be marked and communicated to the public, and drivers will be instructed to yield to ambulances entering these routes.
Implementation is expected to begin within weeks, with the transport department working closely with health authorities to monitor response times and make adjustments as needed.
