Mysuru: It was an hour of grief for the family of 21-year-old M.C. Namana when they heard that their daughter, who met with an accident, did not respond to treatment and might die despite the best efforts of the doctors. However, in spite of irreparable loss, Namana’s family donated the live organs of the young girl. To transport Namana’s live heart, eyes, lungs and kidneys, a ‘green corridor’ was activated in city this afternoon from Apollo BGS Hospital, Kuvempunagar to BGS Global Hospital at Kengeri near Bengaluru. The ICU-equipped advanced ambulance left the Kuvempunagar Hospital at 12 noon and reached Kengeri at 1.47 pm, covering an approximate distance of 133.4 km. The Mysuru Police, along with their counterparts at Srirangapatna, Mandya and Maddur created a corridor free of traffic signals to facilitate transfer of the vital organs smoothly. This system is also referred to as the ‘green corridor’ wherein all the traffic lights on the particular route are lit green.
