The Uttar Pradesh government has started a mediation training programme for insurers to address a backlog of about 200,000 motor accident claims.
Uttar Pradesh's state administration has inaugurated a mediation training programme aimed at insurance companies operating within the state.
The initiative responds to a mounting backlog of roughly 200,000 motor accident claims that have remained unsettled for months.
Organised by the state's Department of Insurance in partnership with a recognised mediation institute, the sessions will equip insurers' staff with conflict‑resolution techniques to handle disputes more efficiently.
Officials said the goal is to cut down litigation, accelerate claim payouts and restore confidence among accident victims.
The training will be delivered in multiple batches over the coming weeks, with periodic assessments to gauge its impact on claim‑processing times.
