Navi Mumbai, June 16: Deputy Commissioner of Police (Traffic), Navi Mumbai, Dr Rahul Khade, felicitated officers and personnel of the Panvel Traffic Branch after they helped save four lives in three separate road and medical emergencies over the past 20 days.

The recognition comes after a series of swift rescue operations, including the rescue of a driver trapped inside a mangled vehicle following an accident, a bus passenger who suffered a seizure, and two seriously injured motorcyclists. In all three cases, traffic personnel ensured that the victims received timely medical treatment during critical moments.

Traffic Team Responded To Multiple Emergencies

The first rescue was led by Senior Police Inspector Audumbar Patil and his team, who extricated an injured driver trapped inside a damaged vehicle near Asudgaon and rushed him to hospital.

In another incident, Police Constables Ameer Mulani and Suresh Jonjal assisted a 45-year-old ST bus passenger who suffered a seizure at Shivshambho Naka, shifting him to a nearby hospital for emergency treatment.

Days later, the same officers rescued two injured motorcyclists after an accident on the Gadhi River bridge and ensured they received treatment within the crucial golden hour.

Officers Honoured For Public Service

Appreciating the team's efforts, Dr Khade lauded the Panvel Traffic Branch for its commitment to public service and announced rewards for the officers and personnel involved in the rescue operations and other notable actions undertaken by the unit.
