UP’s month-long ‘No Helmet, No Fuel’ drive begins today

Starting Monday, two-wheeler riders in Uttar Pradesh may be denied petrol if they are not wearing a helmet, with the state government launching its new “No Helmet, No Petrol” campaign.

Chief minister Yogi Adityanath has urged the public to cooperate, and said the campaign was not a punitive measure but a step toward encouraging safe and responsible riding habits.“Under the campaign, fuel will be dispensed only to riders wearing helmets,” said a press statement issued by the state government on Sunday.
