UP CM Akhilesh Yadav Halts Convoy, Give Green Passage To Ambulance

In a country where we often hear of people missing important meetings and ambulances being held up because of VIP convoys and movements, the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister did something different from his political brethren. Not only did Akhilesh Yadav stop his convoy, he also directed his security personnel to escort the ambulance to the hospital.

The incident occurred on May 23 evening in Lucknow. The chief minister was returning from his tour of Badaun and Bareilly. Enroute to his residence, the CM saw that an ambulance in the traffic that had been halted on Jail Road for his cavalcade. He asked his convoy to stop and provided a passage on priority for the ambulance to pass. CM’s staff also escorted the ambulance to make sure that it received uninterrupted passage.

According to a report in a national daily, the patient was Ratnesh Chaudhary, who was on way to Delhi from Baghdogra. Due to unfavourable weather conditions in Delhi, Chaudhary’s flight was diverted to Lucknow. It was at the Amausi airport, that the 67 year old doctor collapsed.

With CM’s timely intervention, Chaudhary was safely brought to King George Medical University.
