More than 60 ambulances with patients were turned away from the Panchalingala-Pullur inter-state border within Jogulamba - Gadwal district in Telangana from Thursday midnight to 7 p.m. on Friday despite a court order restraining such acts. Two patients died during the waiting period of ambulances at the border check post. The details of the dead patients could not be ascertained as only their place of origin was recorded on the check post. They hailed from Nandyal and Kadapa. By the time the Kurnool Superintendent of Police Fakkeerappa was alerted about the tense situation at the border check-post, there were 18 ambulances waiting for the Telangana police to permit them to travel to Hyderabad. “As the situation turned grave for four patients while I was personally present there, we shifted them to the Government General Hospital at Kurnool, and sent back the remaining ambulances to various other hospitals,” the SP told The Hindu. Even as the police officer was talking to The Hindu at 7 p.m. from the border check post, the Telangana police officers did not allow the ambulances from A.P. side.
