    Rescue Operation

    Rescue Operation

    In the event of a road accident, every second counts. The Highway Police plays a crucial role in providing immediate assistance until medical services arrive.

    Our rescue responsibilities include:

    • Responding swiftly to accident alerts through our Traffic Aid Posts (TAPs) and patrol units
    • Securing the accident scene to prevent secondary incidents and ensure the safety of victims and responders.
    • Coordinating with emergency medical services, fire brigades, and other relevant agencies to ensure prompt arrival of ambulances.
    • Managing traffic around the incident site to allow unhindered movement of rescue and relief vehicles.

    The Highway Police aims to act within the “Golden Hour” — the first hour after an accident — to maximise the chances of saving lives. By maintaining constant communication with allied agencies and deploying trained personnel, we strive to ensure timely and effective rescue operations across Maharashtra’s highways.
