MP Barne demands action against hospitals denying treatment under PMJAY scheme
Shrirang Barne, Member of Parliament (MP) from Maval, has alleged that several private hospitals in Pune district are reportedly refusing to provide treatment to patients, especially senior citizens, under the Ayushman Bharat—Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PMJAY). Barne recently met Union health minister JP Nadda in Delhi and demanded strict action against such hospitals. (HT FILE) Barne recently met Union health minister JP Nadda in Delhi and demanded strict action against such hospitals. The MP submitted a list of 148 hospitals, including civic and private medical centres, empanelled under the scheme in Pune district to the central minister and urged inclusion of more hospitals under the scheme. Following the meeting, Nadda instructed officials to collect information about the hospitals in question. Barne on Friday said that the Union minister has assured strict action against those hospitals that are deliberately denying benefits under the PMJAY scheme, launched on September 23, 2018, that aims to provide free and quality healthcare services to the poor and needy citizens. According to Barne, of the 168 empanelled hospitals in Pune district, only a few are providing services under the Ayushman Bharat scheme. He urged the Centre to take legal action against hospitals intentionally avoiding the scheme and demanded immediate directives to all empanelled hospitals to strictly implement it. He proposed the creation of a dedicated monitoring mechanism to ensure that senior citizens receive timely, hassle-free treatment under the scheme. 'Under the Mahatma Phule Jan Arogya Yojana, citizens get up to ₹ 1.5 lakh assistance, while Ayushman Bharat provides up to ₹ 5 lakh,' he said. Meanwhile, a senior health official, coordinating the scheme in Pune District, on request of anonymity, said, 'The scheme is regularly monitored in the district and action is taken against errant hospitals. Citizens can complain to the district coordinating office if they face such issues.'

Speeding, broken roads or strays? Haryana govt to study causes of accidents
Gurgaon: As the number of people dying in road accidents in the state remains uncomfortably high, Haryana govt has mandated a scientific study to identify accidents' root causes. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The initiative aims at analysing each accident, considering factors such as road conditions, speeding, traffic management, stray animals and other potential contributors, to implement effective preventive measures. The findings will be used to identify patterns and trends, which will inform the development of comprehensive safety measures. In 2022, Haryana recorded 11,105 accidents and 5,596 deaths. In 2023, the figures stood at 10,438 accidents and 5,195 deaths, followed by 9,759 accidents and 4,828 deaths in 2024. In 2025, up to May 25, the numbers further decreased to 6,770 accidents and 1,942 deaths. Highlighting the importance of this initiative, Union transport minister Anil Vij said, "Our primary goal is to safeguard the lives of citizens. By understanding why road accidents are taking place, we can take informed actions to improve road safety across the state." In addition to the study, the govt plans to launch awareness campaigns to educate the public about safe driving practices and the importance of adhering to traffic rules. Earlier this month, a budget of Rs 74.5 crore was approved by Haryana fund management committee (FMC) on road safety for the current year to reduce road accident fatalities and enhance the emergency response system across the state. Moreover, as part of its commitment to ensuring safe travel for all, the state govt also adheres to the Haryana road safety policy (2016). According to the official, these efforts have helped in gradually reducing the number of fatalities in accidents.

A meeting with school transport operators should be scheduled soon, where they must be given clear guidelines to ensure safe commute of children. Non-compliance should be met with challans and vehicle seizure." Meanwhile, institutes of driving training and research (IDTR) will be established in each district of the state. In Gurgaon, a plan was approved for setting up a regional driving training centre. Through these centres, the state aims to promote responsible driving behaviour. The city alone accounted for 1,026 road accidents last year, resulting in 428 fatalities. National highways accounted for 44% of these accidents, with motorcyclists being the most affected group, comprising 41% of the fatalities. Currently, the state has four operational IDTRs - in Rohtak, Bahadurgarh (Jhajjar), Karnal, and Kaithal. An IDTR has been constructed in Bhiwani as well, and it will be made operational soon. Consultants have been appointed for setting up these centres in Nuh and Faridabad.
