Thousands of passengers are reaching Uttarakhand daily to see Baba Kedarnath. Some people are going by their vehicle and some people from public transport. During this time, it is very common to get jam on the thin and narrow paths of the mountains. Due to the arrival of such a large number of passengers, the jam starts from Rishikesh itself. In such a situation, some passengers have discovered a unique way to avoid this traffic jam. In fact, some passengers are going to see Baba Kedarnath by booking ambulances, so that people give way to the ambulance and they do not have to face jam. But the Sonprayag police has now caught the cleverness of such devotees.

What is the whole matter?

People usually have to face heavy jams when visiting Kedarnath Dham. Therefore, to avoid this jam, some passengers planned to travel 2 ambulances and travel in it. In the ambulance, passengers were riding instead of the patient and the ambulance also left for Kedarnath with those passengers. This whole matter is on 14 June. Actually, these passengers knew that no one would stop the ambulance and the ambulance would not have to face the jam. This was the reason that ambulance came out of Haridwar playing hooters. But the Sonprayag police caught the cleverness of these passengers. In fact, police checking is always in Rishikesh, Devprayag, Rudraprayag, Tilwara and Guptkashi areas. But in view of the emergency service of the ambulance, the police of these places did not stop the ambulance.

Policeman suspects due to this

But in the meantime, a policeman from Sonprayag suspected that neither from Gaurikund nor Kedarnath has received any information about any passenger being injured or sick. In fact, whenever a passenger is injured or ill in Kedarnath or Gaurikund area and emergency service has to be given to him, it is immediately informed by the administration to the Sonprayag police. So the policemen stopped both ambulances. When the policemen opened the ambulance gate and checked, they found that there was no patient or injured in the ambulance, but there were passengers going to Kedarnath, who were sitting in the air conditioner ambulance with fun. The 2 ambulances that Sonprayag police have caught have a number plate of Rajasthan. Both ambulances have been seized. The police have also challaned both drivers.
