Bhubaneswar: A dedicated ambulance corridor will be constructed between Khandagiri and AIIM-Bhubaneswar, Works Minister Prithviraj Harichandan informed on Thursday.
“AIIMS Director had requested for improving connectivity between the hospital and the national highway during a review meeting the previous day. Accordingly, we proposed that the National Highways authorities build a 3‑lane service road from Khandagiri to Kalinga Nagar, with one lane reserved exclusively for ambulances. This will allow faster, unobstructed access to AIIMS, especially during emergencies,” the Minister told reporters.
