The Puducherry police have stepped up efforts to enforce the mandatory helmet rule, aiming to reduce accidents and ensure the safety of two-wheeler riders. Regular checks at major intersections and public awareness campaigns are part of the drive to emphasize the importance of wearing helmets.
Authorities have reported an increase in compliance, but some riders continue to flout the rule. Strict penalties, including fines and license suspensions, are being imposed on violators. Police officials highlight that wearing helmets not only protects individuals in accidents but also ensures adherence to traffic regulations.
The initiative is receiving support from road safety organizations, which stress that such measures can significantly reduce fatalities and injuries. Citizens are urged to follow the rules for their safety and the well-being of the community.
