Anurag Dhanda Highlights Delhi Government’s Efforts Amid Road Accident Tragedy
Bharadwaj pointed out that the Aam Aadmi Party-led Delhi government had previously introduced the “Farishte Scheme”, aimed at providing free medical treatment to accident victims at nearby private hospitals. This scheme played a significant role in saving thousands of lives by ensuring timely medical assistance without financial burden.
He added that the removal of this critical scheme in the latest budget would have serious implications for accident victims, urging the administration to revisit the decision and prioritize public welfare.
Anurag Dhanda also shared his concern over the incident
Anurag Dhanda also shared his concern over the incident, emphasizing the importance of accessible emergency healthcare services in the city. He called for strengthening public healthcare infrastructure and ensuring that life-saving schemes are not discontinued, especially when thousands of citizens depend on them during emergencies.
The Delhi government, while facing political debates, continues to stress its commitment to improving road safety measures and enhancing emergency medical services across the city. The authorities have launched a thorough investigation into the accident to determine the exact cause and accountability. Meanwhile, calls for stricter traffic regulations and better medical infrastructure have gained momentum.
Experts say that timely medical intervention can drastically reduce fatalities in road accidents, and schemes like “Farishte” play a crucial role in bridging the gap between accident occurrence and hospital treatment, especially in a densely populated city like Delhi.
As the city grapples with rising traffic-related incidents, public opinion increasingly demands that all political parties and administrative bodies work in unison to ensure citizens’ safety and well-being.
