Hey there, Punekars! Good news for all the two-wheeler riders and pillion passengers out there – the Pune Police Commissioner has decided to delay the enforcement of the helmet mandate until January 1. That’s right, you have a bit more time to ride around without worrying about getting fined for not wearing a helmet.
The decision comes after discussions with various groups, including traffic authorities, social organizations, and public representatives. While the original directive included penalties for both riders and pillion passengers, the Commissioner has decided to first focus on creating awareness about the importance of helmet usage before taking any action.
MLA Hemant Rasane even met with the Police Commissioner to express concerns about making helmets mandatory, especially within city limits. However, the Commissioner clarified that the rule is primarily aimed at improving safety on highways where accidents are more common.
So, Punekars, make sure to stay tuned for the upcoming awareness campaigns and consultations to learn more about why wearing a helmet is crucial for your safety. Remember, it’s better to be safe than sorry!
