The Haryana government on Wednesday launched a scheme to provide free treatment as well as compensation to the victims of road accidents caused by motor vehicles in the state.

The time limit for processing compensation applications and payment to the victims has also been fixed, said chief minister (CM) Nayab Singh Saini in a press conference here.
The treatment expenditure will be borne from the Haryana Road Safety Fund. Apart from this, a district-level committee will be formed to properly implement this scheme at the district level.
