Sirens are not just sounds on the road-they are a call for hope, urgency, and life.
When an ambulance is trying to pass through traffic, someone inside may be fighting for every breath, every heartbeat, every second. Your small act of moving aside can become someone’s second chance at life.
✅ Stay calm
✅ Give way immediately
✅ Do not block or follow the ambulance
A few seconds of patience from you can mean a lifetime for someone else.
The Andaman & Nicobar Police urges all commuters to drive responsibly and show humanity on the roads.
