New Delhi: The Delhi government is all set to notify dedicated stretches in the city that will be reserved for emergency vehicles in case of a disaster. The stretches will be similar to the lanes that were reserved during the Commonwealth Games 2010 for athletes and officials. \r\nThe decision has been taken to ensure ambulances and fire tenders do not get caught in traffic jams during any emergency or a disaster. To ensure people leave the disaster management lanes empty, a siren will be used to inform commuters. The Delhi Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) will also carry out extensive awareness campaigns to ensure people are educated about these lanes. |
