Gurugram, March 30 (IANS) The Gurugram Traffic Police on Tuesday created a 19-km long green corridor for two ambulances from Artemis Hospital in Gurugram to the Gurugram-Delhi border on the national highway to facilitate the transport of a live heart and lungs.

According to the police, the heart and lungs were being transported from Artemis Hospital Gurugram through Delhi Airport to Jaipur and Hyderabad for transplantation.
