News Of The Month! | As of this week, a hefty fine of ₹10,000 awaits anyone obstructing the path of ambulances or fire trucks. The Deputy Commissioner of Police Virender Vij made it clear that every incident will be meticulously recorded by zonal officers, with online challans swiftly following suit. According to Section 194E of the Motor Vehicle Act, violators will definitely feel the pinch. The goal here is swift medical aid for those in need, alongside Gurugram's unwavering dedication to saving lives, also by the establishment of green corridors for organ transplants. So, your timeline of heading to the office or back home has to fall back when you hear the sirens of a fire-brigade or ambulance amidst thick traffic. 

So, the next time an ambulance flashes its lights in Gurugram, give it the green light because you’re not just saving yourself from a fine rather saving a life!
