Transportation of heart through Hyderabad Metro Rail (HMR) for a transplant surgery on February 2 has garnered international attention. HMR managing director N.V.S. Reddy said he has received calls from several countries in Europe, the Gulf and the US asking about the details.
Usually, organs are transported through roadways by clearing traffic and creating a green channel. However, on February 2 afternoon, HMR arranged a special train for non-stop transportation of heart from Nagole to Jubilee Hills.
