New Delhi:(Page3 News network)-Almost all major roads in Delhi will soon have a dedicated emergency lane and driving on them during time of any disaster will be a punishable offence. 
The Delhi Government has identified 162 roads in which emergency lanes will be reserved on the extreme right for plying of ambulances, fire-tenders and other emergency services
vehicles.
This is a part of efforts to strengthen the disaster management system in the city.
