Thank you. Frankly the idea of separate emergency vehicle passage / track should be given the utmost priority in my opinion .....
Its not like that I had intuition, to start reading a useless thread one fine morning and all of a sudden come up with a thought ..... oh lets contact spring onion because I feel like a brilliant idea has just landed in my mind and I think we should implement it straight away (neither we have that authority nor its a perfect plan) ......... no this came from observation of roads and traffic in the most planned city Islamabad of Pakistan. I daily travel on roads and streets of Islamabad and there is hardly a day I don't hear Ambulance sirens. I have strictly observed the insensitive attitude of our traffic on roads to repeated calls and sirens ....... even if I try moving my car out of the way I am not given the room ......... bikes, cars, cabs, vans and trucks they are all in a hurry to outrace the ambulance ......... none of us thinks it could have been me suffering in that ambulance trying to reach the medics in time ....... no we don't think that, if we had we would have cared about properly planning our graveyards ....... I have attended funerals in Pindi and believe me after going to graveyard the only thing that came to my mind was ... we all want to live and live on ........ all of us think we are going to live forever and never going to die, so little planning and importance given to graveyards. So with a mentality like this ........ forget that ambulances in Pakistan would be given a right to the way, in another century.
Add a VIP protocol movement in a stuck traffic situation ........ and see if an ambulance can get a clear path on roads of Pakistan.
Further add an emergency situation ......... a terror attack and traffic block and see if ambulances and emergency vehicles can get a clear path.
Further add protesters blocking the roads, staging sit ins and disturbing the whole traffic plan ..... and see if an ambulance could get a clear path and make its way to hospital ....
If it could that little kid would still be alive.
Look at situation when all these illiterate city dwellers run to places like Murree, Naran Kaghan, Skardu in summers and see the load of traffic blocking those cities and tell me ..... can an ambulance get its way?
You are from the same region as me ......... during summers or at weekends do you think an ambulance that is trying to reach Islamabad from Abbottabad would be able to leave Abbottabad in 20 minutes? No mam it would take it 5 hours ........ and look at that single road from Abbottabad to Hasan Abdal ..........
So in a country if existing roads can be narrowed to construct a separate Jangla bus track, where the roads can be blocked to make way for VIP movements, where construction of new metro roads can happen without an alternate plan for the traffic ........ where Zardari, Nawaz Shareef, Imran Khan, Qamar Javed can live in palaces and move freely blocking others
Why a patient inside an ambulance can't get a free separate passage to reach hospital in time? Because he is a lesser Pakistani? Or his life isn't worth much? I don't believe in We don't have money sh*t ........ Swiss accounts, Iqama, Panama, Surrey Palace and many other tell another story.
If we had working brains we could have saved some of Baldia town factory victims .. but again it depends on priorities .. what is important for us ... for us landing jets at motorways is important but no a separate track for emergency vehicles is a strict no no ......
I don't know but comments from Pakistanis (who live here) disappointed me, they are acting like as if they live in heaven and not Pakistan.
Well I will conclude by saying that if we as Pakistanis and our government included had little shame and an iota of character ...... Eidhi won't be the only biggest ambulance service. After all its all about priorities ........ and I think our priority is to live forever and never put ourselves in a situation where it could be us breathing our last in that stuck ambulance
