, two-wheeler riders without helmets will not get fuel at filling stations in Noida and Greater Noida, the district administration announced , in a major bid to promote road safety.
Holding a meeting with owners of the filling stations, District Magistrate Brajesh Narain Singh said the order must be implemented in the two cities and later it would also be rolled out in rural areas of Gautam Buddh Nagar.
“Those who reach your fuel stations without helmet should be told that they will only get fuel if they wear a helmet. This practice will be implemented from June 1 in Noida and Greater Noida cities initially,” Mr. Singh told them at the collectorate in Surajpur.
Mr. Singh, who was joined by District Police Chief Vaibhav Krishna, said the initiative, primarily aimed at improving road safety, would later be rolled out in rural areas of Gautam Buddh Nagar too with inputs and feedback from the stakeholders.
