Mumbai police to enforce compulsory helmets for pillion riders

Mumbai, the fiscal money of the region, will quickly commence seeing two-wheeler end users – riders and pillions – both equally carrying helmets setting up subsequent thirty day period.

Even though the Motor Autos Act, 1998 currently mandates two-wheeler users to wear helmets, the enforcement across the nation has been nominal. With the exception of number of towns, most pieces of the place sees abysmal helmet utilization.

Mumbai Visitors Police, which has been quite common on Twitter for its quirky and pun-supposed tweets, has announced that it will start stringent enforcement for helmet utilization for pillion riders. Failing which a penalty of Rs 500 will be levied.

The tweet said, ““Persons using a 2-wheeler i.e each the rider and pillion are hereby urged to put on a helmet. As for each MVA, action will be taken in scenario of violation of this rule for pillion rider as perfectly. We will start off applying immediately after 15 times from now.”

The rule will appear into outcome in 15 times, i.e June 9, 2022.
