Delhi government is planing to reserve lanes on city roads for ambulances, fire-tenders and emergency services vehicles to strengthen emergency response system. Informing this in New Delhi, Divisional Commissioner Vijay Dev said that as per the proposal, the restrictions on plying of other vehicles on the separate lanes will only be put into force in the time of disaster. He said that the proposal, put forth by the Delhi Disaster Management Authority, will be discussed with the police soon before a final decision is taken.

Mr. Dev said the government was also planning to put in place an emergency public warning system under which sirens will be installed across the city. He said in case of a disaster, sirens will be blown and immediately the dedicated lanes will have to be left for vehicles under the emergency response system.
