Chandigarh: In A first-of-its-kind development in the Tricity, a road corridor has been established between the Command Hospital, Western Command, Chandimandir, and the Chandigarh airport in order to transport the organs meant to be transplanted in another city. Also on the anvil is an air corridor which is to be established between Chandigarh and New Delhi for faster transportation of organs meant for donation. A mock drill was carried out on the road corridor, and the journey from the Command Hospital to the airport was made in just ‘seven minutes 16 seconds’ as against the normal time of 45 minutes. Given the name of “green corridor”, a mock situation of a liver being transplanted to save a patient’s life was enacted and an escort vehicle of Panchkula Police, led by ASI Balbir Singh, was used to provide road clearance for the ambulance up to the airport.
Under this mock scenario of organ donation, it was assumed that an organ had been harvested by a team of doctors in Command Hospital and that it needed to be urgently rushed to New Delhi for transplantation. The Panchkula Police was given advance information about the movement of the ambulance from the Command Hospital, and additional police personnel were deployed for the smooth movement.
