Chief Minister Manik Saha announced that Tripura will create dedicated green corridors to speed up emergency ambulance movement across the state.
Kolkata, Sept 21 (India Today NE) – Tripura's Chief Minister Manik Saha disclosed plans to establish green corridors for emergency ambulances throughout the state. The initiative aims to carve out dedicated routes that allow ambulances to bypass traffic congestion, thereby cutting response times for critical medical cases.
The government intends to coordinate with traffic police and local authorities to mark these corridors and ensure smooth passage for emergency vehicles. Officials say the scheme will be rolled out in phases, starting with high‑traffic urban areas before extending to rural districts.
State health officials expect the green corridors to improve patient outcomes by delivering faster medical assistance, especially in time‑sensitive emergencies such as heart attacks and accidents. The project aligns with Tripura's broader effort to upgrade its healthcare infrastructure and emergency services.
Implementation details, including the exact routes and timeline, will be communicated in the coming weeks as the state prepares the necessary signage and traffic‑management protocols.
