Suburban stations set to get more emergency centres

After a full-fledged medical emergency centre was set up at Dadar railway station, the Bombay High Court on Tuesday directed the Railways to consider setting up similar centres at other suburban stations that have witnessed over 100 deaths in the past one year.

The direction was passed by a division bench of Chief Justice Mohit Shah and Justice A V Mohta after a public interest litigation filed by Samir Zaveri in 2008, seeking medical help for accident victims within an hour of the accident often termed as the “golden hour”. Zaveri lost both his legs in a railway accident.u00a0

“If the emergency medical centre set up at Dadar station is helping, why don't you (railways) replicate it at other major stations too? These centres may not be necessary at every station but at least at those that have witnessed more than 100 deaths in the past one year,” Chief Justice Shah said.
