Traffic police will impose a fine of ₹10,000 starting this week for not allowing ambulances and fire trucks to pass through, a senior official said.
DCP (Traffic) Virender Vij said the zonal officer of Gurugram traffic police will also make video recordings of the incident. Offenders who do not give way to vehicles of emergency services such as ambulances and the fire brigade will get online challans without any delay, the DCP said. The challans will be issued with the video recording of the incident, he said.
“Challaning amount for the offence is ₹10, 000 under Section 194E of the Motor Vehicle Act. This will help in saving those on the way to different hospitals in ambulances in serious condition.” “Gurugram traffic police is already providing green corridors for ambulances carrying organs meant for transplant to different hospitals and helping to save the lives of serious patients,” DCP Vij said.
