VEERA set for future deployment on highways

Sandeep Rai Rathore, Greater Chennai police commissioner, announced that the state's first vehicle designed for rescuing accident victims trapped inside their vehicles, known as the Vehicle for Extrication in Emergency Rescue and Accidents (VEERA), would be put into operation in Chennai city, Tambaram, and Avadi police limits. He further mentioned that there were plans to expand its operations to cover national highways in the future.

During a demonstration of VEERA, Rathore stated that discussions would take place between the city police, IIT-M, and the highways department to explore opportunities for expanding the VEERA project. In the demonstration, trained police and fire service personnel showcased how they could quickly cut open metal doors to rescue victims. The vehicle, which was operated by a team of 12 personnel, was equipped with various tools, including a spreader, electric winch, circular saw, pneumatic lifting bags, and stabilisation tools.

Rathore also expressed the police's commitment to reducing traffic accidents and mentioned the formation of a committee tasked with establishing speed limits, which would be announced soon, taking into account various factors. R Sudhakar, the additional commissioner of police for Greater Chennai Traffic Police (GCTP), reported that as of September 11th this year, the city had recorded a total of 341 fatal accidents, which represented an increase of 20 compared to the same period last year.
