Sir,
This has reference to the news item ‘Fully equip trauma centres on highway’ DE July 17.
In view of increasing number of accidents on the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway it is appreciated that the Departmental Related Standing Committee (DRSC-II) has taken cognizance of the fact that there is need to equip all 12 Trauma Centres located on Highway so that they become fully functional and provide quick medical aid to victims.
Many precious lives could be saved if road accident victims are provided immediate medical aid. In view of treacherous nature of road, landslides due to rains, rash and negligent driving every year many people lose their lives. Most of the victims succumb to injuries as they do not get timely assistance. Realizing the need for Trauma Centres, the successive Governments set up these centres. Now, in case they do not function properly and do not render service to the needy then whole purpose of these centres is defeated. Besides, there existence will prove like that of a white elephant -burden on exchequer and human resource loss.
The concerned department should lay no stone unturned to make them functional to provide timely relief to people.
Yours etc……
