Procedure for Railway Accident Compensation

RADHEE has taken the initiative to share documents related to Railway accident compensation. Our volunteer, Advocate Dipti Naik, has been instrumental in supporting this activity.

We strongly believe preventing accidents is always a better option than going for the hassles of compensation. Such compensations come at very high costs, maybe the life of near and dear ones, long-term hospitality, or disability.

This initiative helps the Railway Accident victim or relative of the victim understand how to claim for compensation.
