“We have decided to implement the ‘Rahveer Yojana’ to save the lives of people injured in road accidents. If a person takes the injured people in a road accident to a hospital or primary health centre, he will be given a reward of %25,000 by the government under this scheme,” State Parliamentary Affairs Minister and cabinet spokesman, Kailash Vijayvargiya, told reporters. He said the government will instruct the police not to harass the people who rush the injured people to hospitals, in the name of interrogation.
