50-minute chaos on Delhi-Meerut road: Ambulance with snakebite patient halted amid Kanwariya protest

An ambulance carrying a critical patient was stuck for nearly 50 minutes on the Delhi-Meerut road on Monday morning after a minor collision with a tractor-trolley carrying kanwariyas led to a protest. The incident occurred around 7 am when the ambulance, transporting a kanwar pilgrim from a Muradnagar health centre to Sanjay Nagar Hospital, brushed against the parked trolley.

Soon after, a group of pilgrims gathered, claiming that their kanwar and vehicle had been damaged, and blocked the road, bringing traffic to a halt.
