Chief Minister Manik Saha announced the creation of dedicated green corridors for ambulances across Tripura to ensure faster response times during medical emergencies.
Tripura's Chief Minister Manik Saha unveiled a new policy that will designate specific routes as green corridors for ambulances. The move aims to clear traffic and provide uninterrupted passage for emergency vehicles, thereby reducing response times in critical situations.
The state government will coordinate with traffic police, municipal authorities and local transport unions to enforce the corridors during emergencies. Signage and real‑time monitoring systems are planned to guide drivers and ensure compliance.
Health officials expect the initiative to improve outcomes for patients requiring urgent care, especially in remote districts where road congestion has previously delayed ambulance arrival. The policy will be reviewed periodically to assess its impact and make adjustments as needed.
The announcement was made during a press conference in Agartala, where the CM emphasized the government's commitment to strengthening healthcare infrastructure and emergency services in the state.
