Indore (Madhya Pradesh): Nilesh Gaur, who helped save the life of a road accident victim by ensuring timely treatment, has been honoured with the State Government’s Rah-Veer Award.
Collector Shivam Verma presented Gaur with a Certificate of Appreciation and a cash prize of Rs25,000 at the Collector’s Office on Tuesday. Regional Transport Officer Pradeep Sharma and Chief Medical and Health Officer Dr Madhav Hasani were also present.
Praising Gaur’s prompt action during the “Golden Hour”, Verma said he had set an example by immediately taking the critically injured victim to a nearby hospital for treatment.
