Within a span of one month, this is the fourth instance that Silchar had to create a Green Corridor for the safe passage of a patient. On Wednesday morning, a green corridor was set up from the Jeevan Jyoti Hospital in Meherpur to the Nemcare Hospital in Guwahati. The ambulance left Silchar at 7 am and reached Guwahati with the patient at around 2 pm. There she was admitted to the non-covid ward, but her oxygen levels were still reported to be much lower than normal.

According to hospital sources, Dipali Dey, aged 36, is a resident of the Bazarichherra area of Karimganj and was admitted to the hospital on June 7. The previous day on June 6, she tested Covid positive on RAT. While undergoing treatment at the hospital, her result came negative eventually. But due to low oxygen level, she was still kept in ICU for treatment. She could not breathe normally even after being provided oxygen. Her usual oxygen levels ranged from 90 to 92. However, from Monday, her oxygen level dropped further and at one point it came close to 80. It was then decided that she would be transferred to Guwahati for further treatment. The family, with the help of the hospital, requested the district administration to build a green corridor for their safe passage. The Deputy Commissioner of Cachar immediately gave instructions to do the needful and the family members took the patient in an ambulance on Wednesday morning for Guwahati.

Deputy Commissioner Keerthi Jalli directed the police department to take the necessary steps to build a green corridor. Accordingly, Superintendent of Police Vaibhav Chandrakant Nimbalkar built a green corridor from the Jeevan Jyoti Hospital in Meherpur to the Cachar border. Besides, a message was sent to the Meghalaya officials to take adequate measures when the ambulance left. The ambulance carrying the patient reached Nemcare Hospital in Guwahati safely around 2 pm.

According to the family sources, the patient was kept in the general ICU due to low oxygen levels. Doctors are keeping a close eye and they are optimistic that the patient’s health will gradually improve in the coming days.
