HYDERABAD (Metro Rail News): L&T Hyderabad Metro Rail redemonstrates its ability to rise to the occasion to help the citizens of Hyderabad in the quickest possible time. Like the last time in Feb 2021, L&TMRHL received an SOS call from the Apollo Hospital, Jubilee Hills for transport of a harvested heart to save a life. HMR activated a Green Channel in the wee hours of the morning today on 26 September and facilitated a special train to transport the beating heart from Nagole to Jubilee Hills Check Post Metro Station.
This activity coincided with the handling of special metro train services beyond the business hours of 25 Sep for the return journey of about 20k spectators who travelled to watch the T20 cricket match at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium, Uppal, from the Stadium and the adjoining two metro stations.
A panel of doctors and other medicos headed by Dr. Gokhale from the Apollo Hospitals, Jubilee Hills brought the harvested heart from the Kamineni Hospital at the Nagole Metro Station at around 1 am.
The live heart was then immediately rushed inside the waiting metro train. In a span of about 25 minutes, the special train reached the Jubilee Hills Check Post where the ambulance of Apollo Jubilee Hills was waiting to receive the live organ and the medical team. The entire activity was seamlessly handled by the metro and security officials on Line 3.
