Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik’s carcade halted at Capital Hospital Square here on Sunday evening to ensure smooth passage of an ambulance.
The carcade was heading towards Patnaik’s residence Naveen Niwas from AG Square at around 7.45 pm when it was stopped by traffic personnel for movement of the ambulance, which was coming from the Sishu Bhawan Square side.
The CM’s carcade resumed its movement after the passage of the emergency vehicle.
Notably, a five-year-old boy had died in the city on February 11 as the ambulance in which he was being shifted to a private hospital allegedly got stuck in a traffic jam in the Chandrasekharpur area.
