Emergency lanes

Published December 7, 2018

NO one realises the importance of emergency lanes in Pakistan. We are in a real need of it right now. People are so lost in their daily routine that they forget the meaning of humanity. They don’t even listen to shrieking ambulance sirens anymore. It’s like they are waiting for someone to tell them to make way.

Ambulances gets stuck in traffic jams. This leads to deaths and to births in ambulances. The government should take notice of this and build emergency lanes for these vehicles, so that we will no longer live in a world where humanity doesn’t matter.
