Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath halts the Vijayadashami procession in Gorakhpur after an ambulance carrying a critically ill patient gets stuck in the crowd. Outlets report that he stops the procession so the ambulance can pass and then the procession resumes.
The reports place the incident during the traditional Vijayadashami procession from Gorakhnath Temple, amid a large gathering and tight security. Times of India and India Today both focus on the operational action—Adityanath pausing the procession to clear the way for the ambulance. Free Press Journal adds more context from its description, framing the move as prioritising “humanity” over tradition and noting details about the siren being heard near the temple gate.
Across all sources, the central point remains the same: the ambulance is given passage after Adityanath instructs security to clear a route, and the procession continues thereafter.
