Time is everything in road crashes, and Gujarat won’t waste it. A dedicated workshop by the Road Safety Authority in Gandhinagar rallied departments around the PM Relief Scheme, offering instant Rs 1.5 lakh cashless care in the golden hour.
From police to health officials and district reps, attendees mapped out execution. The scheme’s promise: seven days of barrier-free treatment to tip survival odds.
Commissioner Satish Patel set the tone, underscoring first-hour interventions’ impact. He pushed for airtight departmental sync to blanket the state.
Police’s pivotal role shone through. State Traffic IG and Sahitya V broke down procedures—from 112/108 alerts to hospital handoffs and e-reports—ensuring no victim misses out.
Health experts focused on medical agility. PM-JAY’s Upendra Gandhi emphasized police’s transport/reporting speed and health’s enrollment efficiency.
With accidents a persistent threat, Gujarat’s strategy integrates urgency and systems. Expect ripple effects: saved lives, informed policies, and a model for India on turning golden hours into golden outcomes.
