Bangalore: Don't panic the next time you witness an accident. help is just a call away. just dial the toll free traffic police control room number, 103 for accident rescue through comprehensive trauma consortium. the connects to the police commissioner's office and the ctc centre on airport road ensures that an ambulance from the respective zonal hospital picks up the victim/s and rushes him/her to the nearest hospital. the advocates association, bangalore, and lion's club, j.p.nagar, held an awareness programme about ctc recently. the programme was inaugurated by home minister mallikarjun kharge. speaking on the occasion, he said the driver alone cannot be blamed for an accident. the traffic system too is responsible, he added. dr venkataramana, neurosurgeon and convener, ctc, said that 60 per cent of accident victims die after reaching the hospital, which is normally 3-6 hours after the accident. these deaths are mostly due to the poor accessibility to first aid, absence of established trauma care centres and inability to ensure timely and proper transport.
