New Delhi. In today’s time everyone has their personal vehicle. Not only traveling long distances, but now people have any work even a short distance from home, then they leave with their own car. Due to the use of vehicles many times daily, people start being careless while driving them. Many times it is seen that the bike riders are driving without helmet while the car riders are driving without wearing seat belt. By doing this, they not only put themselves in trouble but also people’s lives.
In the past, when businessman and former chairman of Tata Sons Cyrus Mistry died in a road accident, after that the discussion about installing seat belts on the back seat of the car was in full swing. It was being said that due to sitting in the back seat, he did not pay attention to the seat belt, due to which he lost his life. Since this incident, seat belts were made mandatory on the back seat as well. Now this rule has been implemented for car drivers in Mumbai.
In Mumbai, this rule is going to be implemented on the coming 10th of this month. Giving this information, Mumbai Police Deputy Commissioner (Traffic) Raj Tilak Roshan said that people are being made aware through social media and radio to follow this rule. Its importance is being explained to the people.
Challan will be deducted for violation
After this rule comes into force in Mumbai from November 10, everyone will have to wear a rear seat belt. Failure to do so will result in a fine of Rs 200. Apart from this, the Mumbai Police had also intensified the campaign regarding the rear helmet on the two wheeler. In view of the increase in the number of people not wearing rear helmets and increasing accidents, the police is preparing to take action on it soon.
