As heavy rains lashed Chennai, heavy water logging was recorded in different parts of the city. Traffic snarls snaked along the streets bringing city life to a standstill. Amid the heavy downpour and congestion, a lone man’s efforts to lead three ambulances out of the traffic jam is winning hearts online. The man, Jinnah, a bank manager, led the way for almost 4 km in the rain for the ambulances stuck in Anna Salai. Jinnah’s timely intervention, after parking his two wheeler, helped save the lives of the critically ill patients in the ambulances that were headed to Rajiv Gandhi Government Hospital, according to a report in India Today. His selfless act was recorded by an ambulance driver and shared widely on social media.
IFS Officer Sudha Ramen called him a “hero” and wished that the new year would have more of such “humane and positive stories”, while sharing it on her Twitter handle with the caption, “Bank Manager Jinnah had cleared way for the ambulances on the New year Eve in Chennai. He had walked about 4kms till the ambulances reached the hospital.”
