Chennai Police stops ambulance to let VIP convoy pass

In the video, a traffic jam can be seen on one side of the road, with even an ambulance stuck in it.

Reacting to the video, the Chennai Police said that vehicles had been, in fact, stopped for check because of ‘lockdown violations.’ They also said that while there was no patient inside the ambulance, the CM had instructed them not to stop traffic for his convoy.

However, hitting out at the Chief Minister, DMK MP Kanimozhi tweeted: “Congratulations CM! A few days ago, you brought entire cities out on to the road because of your lockdown within a lockdown. Now, you bring the city traffic and ambulances to a standstill. Your humility is amazing.”
