Punjab Health & Family Welfare Minister Dr. Balbir Singh and Transport Minister S Laljit Singh Bhullar asserted that Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann led state government is committed to reducing road accident mortality rate and providing treatment during the crucial golden hours to save lives in the state, adding that 'Farishtey Scheme', 'Sadak Surakhiya Force' and the new addition of a fleet of ambulances to the Health Department are the significant steps taken in this direction.

Addressing a gathering during a one-day workshop on "Emergency Care and Schemes for road accident victims in Punjab", organised by the Lead Agency on Road Safety "Punjab Road Safety Council" at MGSIPA, both the cabinet ministers said that the Punjab government has been working intensively to reduce death mortality rate in road accidents by 50% by 2025 and making every possible effort to achieve this goal.

They asked the administrative officials of all districts to treat saving lives of road accident victims as a mission. If a needy victim or kin of any deceased person receives financial assistance under various government schemes, it can help the affected family become economically stronger to sustain their life, they added.
