MYSURU: The Mysuru visitors police idea they'd get a hold of a fairly unique initiative to encourage motorcyclists to use helmets, however the move turns out to have backfired.
To promote protection and get more riders to follow the rule of thumb, the police, but even so enforcing a penalty of Rs 100 on the ones now not wearing a helmet, also decided to reward a helmet price Rs 500 to the violators.
Cops have been noticed distributing unfastened helmets at VV Puram visitors station, Siddarthanagara visitors station, Krishnaraja visitors station, Narasimharaja visitors station and the Devaraja visitors station spaces as part of the marketing campaign that was once introduced on Monday.
Soon, news of the unfastened helmets unfold briefly. Excited with the chance of having a helmet that was once price a lot more than the tremendous, many on two-wheelers deliberately decided to flout the rule of thumb. They hid their helmets, deciding not to recreation one , ready to pay the moderate tremendous in change for a new helmet.
P J Raghavenda, a lawyer, was once essential of the initiative. “Distributing unfastened helmets isn't right. Traffic police are encouraging violations. These sorts of acts encourage the riders to wreck the principles,” he remarked.
As part of the marketing campaign, the visitors police had tied up with a non-public company to distribute 1,200 helmets with the ISI mark. Realising that the move had misfired, they later called off the marketing campaign.
