Read the passage given below:
1.
Once an organ donor's family gives its consent and the organs are matched to a recipient,

that the harvested organ reaches its destination in the shortest possible time. This is done in
order to preserve the harvested organs and involves the police and especially the traffic police

process entails police escorting an ambulance, so as to move around traffic- usually a specific
traffic lane is chosen and all signals on the route stay green to ensure it reaches its destination in

police to ensure the smooth and steady transportation of harvested organs on most occasions to
those awaiting a life-saving transplant. Organs tend to have a very short preservation time, as the
heart, which has to be harvested and transplanted within four hours or the lungs, which can be
preserved for only six hours once they are harvested.
3. The green corridor in India was created by the Chennai Traffic Police in September 2008 when

Mumbai, Delhi NCR etc. Personnel are stationed at selected points to divert, control and clear the
traffic giving way to the ambulance. Apart from this, a motorcade of police vehicles accompanies
