Uttar Pradesh Takes Strong Action on Fake Helmets 🚨
The two-wheeler helmet manufacturing Association of India (2WHMA) has praised the Uttar Pradesh government for its strict measures against the sale and use of fake BIS-certified helmets. This action is seen as a big step towards improving road safety in India.
Worrying Road Accident Statistics 📊
Last year, Uttar Pradesh recorded over 46,000 road accidents, leading to more than 24,000 deaths. In response to this alarming data, the state’s Transport Department is working hard to ensure that everyone follows helmet safety rules.
New Regulations for Helmet Compliance 📜
The latest instructions from the government include filing FIRs against those who break the rules. Additionally, a public awareness campaign will be launched to ensure that only genuine BIS-certified helmets are used on the roads. Rajiv Kapoor, president of Focus 2WHMA and Managing Director of Steelbird Helmets, called this a “historic decision” for helmet quality.
Eliminating Fake Helmets for Safety 🛡️
Kapoor emphasized that fake and low-quality helmets have been a hidden danger on our streets. The 2WHMA has long stressed the need for strict helmet quality standards. The availability of cheap and uncertified helmets poses a serious risk to safety.
A Call for Collective Action 🤝
Kapoor believes that real change can only happen through a joint effort between policy makers, manufacturers, and citizens. He stated, “We are ready to support all state governments that are taking such steps. Road safety is not just a regional issue; it is a national emergency.” With this initiative, Uttar Pradesh has not only prioritized citizen safety but has also challenged other states to improve their safety measures.
