A severe traffic jam on the Zero Mile‑SKMCH road in Muzaffarpur left an ambulance carrying a child stuck for nearly thirty minutes, delaying medical care.
A heavy traffic congestion developed early Thursday on the Zero Mile to SKMCH corridor in Muzaffarpur, Bihar. The jam stretched for several kilometres, bringing the flow of vehicles to a standstill.
Ambulances transporting patients from Sitamarhi and Shivhar were caught in the gridlock. One of these emergency vehicles was carrying a child who reportedly groaned in pain as the ambulance remained immobilised.
The ambulance was unable to move for close to thirty minutes, despite the urgent need for medical attention. No official statement on the cause of the jam or any diversion measures was released at the time.
Local commuters and health officials expressed concern over the delay, highlighting the vulnerability of emergency services during peak traffic snarls.
