With the intention of strengthening road safety in India, Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari (SAID) has announced that it will now be mandatory to give two ISI Certificate Helmets (Helmets) with every two-wheeler vehicle.
This important decision was announced at the Auto Summit held in New Delhi, which has received full support of the two-wheeler helmet manufacturing Association of India.
This strict instruction of Gadkari is considered to be an important and long expected step by the industry, which will help prevent these unnecessary deaths. The two-wheeler Helmet Manufacturers Association (THMA), who had long been demanding the imperative of ISI certification helmet, appreciated this active leadership. Explain that the figures of road accidents in India are very worrying.
More than 4,80,000 road accidents occur every year. More than 1,88,000 people are killed in this. Of these, 66% of the deceased are aged between 18 and 45 years. Especially in two -wheelers accidents, more than 69,000 people are killed every year, of which 50% of deaths are caused by not wearing helmets.
To this, ThMA president Rajiv Kapoor said, “This is not just a rule, but the country. For those who have lost their loved ones in road accidents, the decision is a ray of hope that now such tragedies will be stopped.”
The industry stressed that the ride of two -wheelers should no longer be risky. If both the rider and the one who sit back will have an ISI certification helmet, the journey will be safe and responsible. The Helmet Manufacturers Association assured that they would increase the production of quality ISI helmets.
The Helmet Manufacturers Association assured that they would ensure their availability across the country. Describing this initiative of Gadkari as a milestone in road safety, he said that this step will begin the new era of safe and intelligent two -wheeler journey in India. Because there is a precious life behind every helmet.
Now challan of 2000 rupees
The Government of India has changed the 1998 Motor Vehicles Act. In which two-wheeler runners will be fined up to Rs 2,000 for not wearing helmets or not wearing helmets properly. That is, the bike rider is wearing a helmet, but if he is open, it will be fined Rs 1,000.
You are wearing a helmet and not wearing a strip tied to the head, even then you will be fined 1 thousand rupees. Overall, the helmet will now have to wear it completely properly. If this does not, then you will have a challan of 2000 rupees.
