Fatehpur: ambulance with heart patient stuck 20 minutes in Bindki traffic jam
An ambulance taking a referred heart patient from Banda to Kanpur was caught for about 20 minutes in a jam on Bindki's main road, Amar Ujala reported.
An ambulance carrying a heart patient was stuck for about 20 minutes in a traffic jam on the main road of Bindki town in Fatehpur, Uttar Pradesh, Amar Ujala reported on 10 October. The incident was on Friday evening, according to the report.
The 60-year-old patient was being taken from Banda to the Heart Disease Institute in Kanpur after a referral. A jam about 500 metres long had formed between Ambedkar crossing and Gandhi crossing, and the ambulance moved only slowly while, the report says, the patient's condition worsened. Relatives repeatedly asked for the jam to be cleared.
Kotwal Shailesh Singh said traffic police are always posted at Lalauli crossing, with police also at a picket post, and that they try to clear jams as soon as they form.
Why it matters for ambulance owners and drivers
Congested market roads remain a common cause of delay for referral transfers, and drivers on long inter-district runs can lose critical minutes in town traffic.
