"Hyderabad Metro Saves Life with Rapid Heart Transport"
Thanks to the Green Corridor, the heart reached Gleneagles Global Hospital on time, where doctors were able to carry out the transplant procedure.
In a brilliant act of coordination and quick thinking, the Hyderabad Metro Rail authorities helped save a life by quickly transporting a donor heart across the city. The heart, needed for a transplant, had to be moved urgently from Kamineni Hospital in LB Nagar to Gleneagles Global Hospital in Lakdikapul. With the city’s heavy traffic, the metro system proved to be the fastest and most efficient solution.
The operation took place on a Friday night at 9:30 pm, when a special Green Corridor was set up in the metro network. This dedicated route allowed the heart to travel quickly, avoiding the usual traffic delays. The successful transport was made possible by the smooth coordination between metro staff, medical teams, and hospital officials.

This effort marked an important moment for the Hyderabad Metro Rail, which is typically known for daily commuting. By using the metro system to transport an organ, the authorities showed that public transport can play a vital role in emergencies. The initiative was praised widely for its quick and efficient execution.
