Patna: The Patna District Transport Office has launched a special campaign to identify families affected by hit-and-run road accidents and help eligible victims claim compensation under the government scheme. The initiative aims to ensure that families who have not yet applied for assistance do not miss out on the available support.
Focus on Unidentified Hit-and-Run Cases
The campaign will identify road accident cases where the vehicle involved could not be traced or where the driver fled after the accident.
Officials are informing victims’ families about the compensation process and encouraging eligible applicants to submit their claims with the required documents.

₹2 Lakh Compensation in Case of Death
Under the Government of India’s hit-and-run compensation scheme, eligible families can receive ₹2 lakh when a victim dies in a qualifying hit-and-run accident.
However, claims will be approved only after officials verify the relevant records and documents according to the prescribed rules.
Appeal to Families
The District Transport Officer, Patna, has urged families whose members died in hit-and-run accidents to check whether they have already claimed the compensation.
Families that have not submitted a claim can approach the District Transport Office, Patna, for information about the application procedure.
Applicants should carry the necessary documents while visiting the office so officials can guide them through the claim process.
Why the Drive Matters
Hit-and-run accidents can leave families facing both emotional and financial difficulties, particularly when the vehicle or driver involved cannot be identified.
By actively identifying such cases and informing families about the compensation process, the Patna district administration aims to improve access to government support.
The campaign also highlights the importance of ensuring that eligible road accident victims and their families are aware of welfare provisions available to them.
The initiative is expected to help more eligible families complete the claim process and access financial assistance under the hit-and-run compensation scheme.
