Chandigarh road accident victims now receive up to ₹1.5 lakh in free treatment for the first seven days under the PM RAHAT scheme. This initiative aims to ensure victims get crucial "golden hour" care without financial barriers, covering both government and private hospitals. The process involves police uploading accident details to an e-DAR portal, generating a victim ID linked to the health system for cashless treatment. A pilot project in Chandigarh from August 2024 to September 2025 successfully registered 32 cases. The scheme is expected to improve survival rates by accelerating critical early treatment.
