The Kolkata Police will impose 'no helmet, no fuel' rule from December 8 to February 5 as part of efforts to check fatalities because of two-wheeler accidents.
"No petrol pumps in the city shall sell petrol to any such two-wheeler rider who arrives at the petrol pump without a helmet or is carrying a pillion rider without a helmet,” said a police officer.
"We welcome the rule. But sometimes it becomes difficult to enforce such a rule without police protection,” said a petrol pump owner in Kolkata.
The police registered around 93,855 cases of rash driving in 2019. One out of every three such rash driving cases, around 32,600 cases, involved two-wheelers.
Earlier authorities in Noida, Aligarh and Bengaluru enforced such rules.
