New Delhi: An official stated on Friday that UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s cavalcade came to a halt to make space for an ambulance.
According to DCP Traffic Subhash Chandra Shakya, the incident occurred near Raj Bhavan on Thursday, as the chief minister’s cavalcade was travelling from Hazratganj to Bandariyabagh, news agency PTI reported.
He claimed that an ambulance and other cars were halted to enable the CM’s cavalcade to pass.
