Commissioner of Police launches Road Traffic Accident Victim Assistance Cell to provide compensation and enhance road safety.
Commissioner of Police Shankabratha Bagchi has announced that the city police will launch an exclusive ‘Road Traffic Accident Victim Assistance Cell’ to help the families of road traffic victims get compensation as soon as possible.
As a first step, the city police will start identifying the families of road accident victims who have been doing rounds to police stations and courts for compensation.
“We will come up with measures to help them. A dedicated cell, staff and a dedicated contact number will be created,” he said.
Mr. Bagchi participated in the ‘World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims’, which was organised at Dr. Y.V.S. Murthy Auditorium in the AU Campus here in the city on Sunday.
Mr. Bagchi said that the police would set a one-year target and make efforts to ensure that most of the victims’ families receive compensation.
The CP said that he has seen the suffering of the kin of accident victims, especially those who lost the bread-winner.
“Today, we are paying homage to the road accident victims. But the real homage is when their families get compensation and lead the rest of their life happily without any struggle,” he said.
