Imagine you're on a beautiful journey. A magnificent open road stretches all around, a speeding car, and pleasant weather. Everything seems perfect. But suddenly, at the next turn, something unexpected happens... Often, an unexpected accident on the highway can instantly transform life's joys into mourning. On such an unfamiliar and desolate journey, where no hospital or help is in sight, a number flashing on your mobile screen becomes the biggest ray of hope: 1033. Today, on the country's national highways, this four-digit number is not just a helpline, but a lifeline for thousands and millions of travelers.

A call becomes an angel in times of crisis

The first hour after a highway accident is known as the Golden Hour in medical science. If the injured person receives proper treatment within this hour, their chances of survival increase by 80 percent. 1033 is the guardian of this golden hour.

As soon as someone dials this number, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) call center immediately springs into action. GPS tracking is used to pinpoint the exact location of the accident, and an ambulance arrives on the scene within minutes. The injured are transported to the nearest trauma center or hospital. Cranes and patrol vehicles are also deployed to clear the road.

The ambulance arrived in just 7 to 10 minutes

Mr. Nitin Verma, who took advantage of NHAI's 1033 service, says, "I was traveling on the Raipur-Bilaspur National Highway. Around 2 p.m., my car met with an accident on the highway. My mobile phone had poor network. I couldn't figure out where I was. I dialed 1033, and within 7 to 10 minutes, an ambulance was right there. That number was nothing less than a lifeline for me."

1033 is not just an accident, it is the solution to every problem.

People generally think that this number is useful only in case of an accident, but in reality, it is your most reliable companion on the highway. You can take its help in many adverse situations as well. If the vehicle's tyre gets punctured or the engine fails in the dead of night, a tree has fallen on the highway, cattle have come in or there is some heavy debris lying on it, if a fellow traveler suddenly becomes seriously ill during the journey, there is any problem related to toll plaza or Fastag or you are feeling unsafe on the highway… then also the 1033 service can be availed.

The story of Sanjivani, through experiences

Heavy truck tyre bursts in the dead of night, 1033 provides relief

Truck driver Mr. Gurdeep Singh shares his experience, “It was around 9:45 pm. I was driving my heavy truck from Raipur to Bilaspur. Suddenly, with a loud noise, the truck's tire burst. The heavy vehicle, combined with the silence of the night, was a major challenge in parking the truck on the side of the highway and finding help. I wasted no time and called 1033. The NHAI team immediately traced my location, and the highway patrol team arrived at the scene. The team not only arranged for a crane and technical assistance, but also ensured security until the work was completed, to prevent another major accident.”

When the wheel got jammed, the patrolling team extended a helping hand.

Mr. S.P. Choubey, a passenger on the Bilaspur-Nagpur route, said, "We were traveling in our car when suddenly it got a puncture. When it came time to change the spare tire, a new problem arose. The tire hadn't been opened in a long time, so it was jammed. My driver, drenched in sweat, tried unsuccessfully to open it, but it wouldn't budge. A passing 1033 Route Patrol Vehicle (RPV) team witnessed our car parked on the side of the highway and the driver's struggle.

The team members immediately stopped by our side. They not only retrieved the necessary heavy tools from their vehicle, but also personally unscrewed the jammed wheel, replaced the tire, and got our vehicle moving. Their warmth and promptness won our hearts.

Heavy trailer's brakes jammed, prompt action averted major danger
