The state of Punjab has witnessed a notable improvement in road safety due to the implementation of the Road Safety Force (SSF) and the ‘Farishatey’ (Angels) Scheme. The SSF, a pioneering initiative launched in 2024, ensures a quick response to road accidents with strategically placed teams equipped with advanced technology. The SSF’s presence also supports law enforcement efforts in combating crime. Alongside this, the ‘Farishatey’ scheme tackles the critical issue of providing immediate medical assistance to accident victims, offering financial incentives and protection from legal complications for those who offer help. The collective effect of these initiatives has contributed to saving thousands of lives and decreasing the accident rate. The Mann government’s initiatives demonstrate its commitment to the welfare of its citizens, fostering a safer environment, and encouraging a sense of community responsibility on Punjab’s roads.
