The ADC and Chief Executive Officer of the Mokokchung Municipal Council, Chumlamo Humtsoe, has informed that the compensation under the Hit and Run Motor Accident Scheme has been operationalized since April 1, 2022. However, the scheme did not take off as expected.
In this regard, the Government of India, Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, New Delhi, has therefore solicited the cooperation of Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) to create widespread publicity for the scheme at the grassroots level, to sensitize officials about the scheme, assist victims of hit-and-run cases, and undertake active awareness campaigns at the local level through various mediums.
