Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma apologises after an ambulance is stopped to make way for his convoy in Silchar. The incident prompts him to acknowledge that the situation is unacceptable and to express regret to the patient and their family.
Sarma says in a post on X that no chief minister’s passage should take precedence over a life needing urgent medical care. While outlets describe the same core event and his apology, they focus on different framings: one highlights the incident as “unacceptable,” while others emphasize that the apology is directed both at the affected patient and the family.
The reports agree that the convoy halts an ambulance in Silchar, and that Sarma publicly apologises afterward, reiterating the importance of prioritising emergency treatment over VIP movement. No additional details on the timing, duration of the stoppage, or outcome for the patient are provided in the cited accounts.
