A new era of roadside valor dawns in Delhi. CM Rekha Gupta revealed plans to enforce the ‘Rah-Veer Yojana,’ compensating helpers of serious accident victims with Rs 25,000 and honors.
The core issue? Public apprehension over legal repercussions. This scheme neutralizes it via rewards, spurring action in the golden hour window critical for survival.
Urban gridlock amplifies urgency in the capital. The Centre’s vision: mass participation curbing fatalities. Anchored in 2019 Act safeguards, it protects voluntary rescuers legally.
Helpers ferrying victims to aid timely qualify. Per-crash limit: Rs 25,000. Elite ten national ‘Rah-Veers’ annually claim Rs 1 lakh with plaques.
Oversight by district panels of key officials ensures fairness. Digital trails and bank credits streamline delivery, aided by federal funds.
In Gupta’s words, it instills a rescue-ready mindset. Dispelling myths of risk, it elevates compassion alongside safety measures. Delhi’s adoption could avert sorrows, cementing ‘Rah-Veer’ as a pillar of progress.
