National Toll-Free Number to Report Road Accidents on National Highways to Be Launched Soon!

The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is soon expected to launch a national toll-free number for people to report about road accidents on national highways (NHs) and to register complaints regarding the operations and maintenance of the NHs.

The helpline number is to be "1033", which will be launched on in the first week of February. The aim behind launching this toll-free number is to provide quick and timely medical treatment to accident victims, by taking him/her to the nearest hospital. NHAI is also collaborating with state governments for the deployment of ambulances along highways exclusively for road users.

The 1033 helpline has been conceived with an idea to provide a "one stop solution" for highway users for any emergency or non-emergency services.

How the toll-free number will work?

Once the toll-number operators received a call about an accident or any other emergency situation, the information would be relayed to the nearest operation centre for action, which could range from dispatching an ambulance or sending a crane to the site for rescue operations.

The Indian Highways Management Company Ltd (IHMCL), which is a subsidiary of NHAI, has also completed the process of the mapping of the entire NH network via the geographic information system (GIS). This is expected to help the call centers manning the phone lines to better locate the callers and to transfer the calls to operators fluent in the local languages. 

Almost 30% of road accidents in the country are reported from the National Highways and more than one-third road fatalities even though they constitute only about 2% of India's total road network.

Government is taking all the essential steps needed to make the on-road experience of commuters both safe and convenient. So let's play our part and follow traffic rules, stay updated with all the new regulations coming in.
