According to The Print, in 2022, Hyderabad Traffic Police has facilitated organ transport 21 times. In May 2022, the Hyderabad traffic police coordinated with Cyberabad traffic police to create a green corridor from Rajiv Gandhi International Airport in Shamshabad (Telangana) to KIMS Hospital Begumpet, Hyderabad.

The ambulance, which left the airport at 07:28 AM, reached the hospital at 07:55 AM, thus covering a distance of 35 km in 27 minutes. Green corridors have saved many lives in different parts of the country. In January 2022, a green corridor built in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, saved a patient's life. For this, the ambulance covered a distance of 23 km in 15 minutes.

It saved another patient's life by transporting a brain-dead patient's kidney. In Nasik, Maharashtra green corridor created by the police helped the organs reach their destination in 15 minutes, and two people got a new life.

What Is Green Corridor

A green corridor is a system that transports vital organs from one place to another in less time. In this system, the traffic departments of two areas cooperate to create a particular route where all the traffic signals are turned green. This way, about 60 to 70 per cent of the time is saved by providing the transporting vehicle with a smooth passage. A green corridor offers a better chance of saving lives since the sooner an organ is transplanted, the higher the chances of success.
