A Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal (MACT) has awarded a total of Rs 21 crore to the families of two senior managers of a firm who were killed in a road accident on the Mumbai-Goa highway in 2018.

The accident occurred on a fateful day in 2018 when the two victims, who were travelling in a car, lost their lives due to the negligence of another driver. The families of the deceased had filed a petition with the MACT seeking compensation for their loss.

The MACT, after hearing the petition and considering the evidence presented, ruled in favour of the families and awarded them a total of Rs 21 crore. This amount is intended to provide financial support to the families of the victims and help them cope with their loss.

The two senior managers who lost their lives in the accident were well-respected professionals in their field. Their deaths were a shock to their colleagues and friends, and their families have been struggling to come to terms with the tragedy.

The MACT's decision is a significant one, as it recognizes the value of the lives lost and provides a measure of justice to the families of the victims. The award of Rs 21 crore is one of the highest amounts awarded by the MACT in recent times, and it reflects the severity of the accident and the impact it had on the families of the victims.

The Mumbai-Goa highway has been prone to accidents in the past, and this incident highlights the need for greater safety measures to be implemented on this stretch of road. The authorities must take steps to ensure that such accidents do not occur in the future and that the safety of all road users is protected.

In conclusion, the MACT's award of Rs 21 crore to the families of the two senior managers who were killed in the 2018 Mumbai-Goa highway crash is a significant step towards providing justice and compensation to the victims' families.
