According to the instructions of the government headed by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath in Uttar Pradesh, a special road safety campaign from September 1 -‘No Helmet, is not petrol’ will be started which will run till 30 September. According to the official statement released in Lucknow on Wednesday, this campaign will be run under the coordination of the District Road Safety Committee under the leadership of the District Magistrate. This order of the government will be applicable in all 75 districts of UP.
According to the statement, officers of Police, Revenue/District Administration and Transport Department will take responsibility for enforcement during this period. The government has appealed to the common people to give full support in this campaign.
Section 129 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 makes it mandatory for a two -wheeler driver and a person sitting behind, and Section 194D provides punishment on violation.
The Supreme Court’s Road Safety Committee has also advised the states to give priority to compliance with the rules related to helmets.

What is the motive behind the No Helmet No Petrol Campaign?
The state government said that the purpose of this campaign is not to punish but to motivate citizens to take steps for their security and to take steps for their safety.
Transport Commissioner Brijesh Narayan Singh said, “This campaign is not a punishment but a resolution of security. This campaign will run from September 1 to 30. There is an appeal to all citizens, petrol pump operators and oil companies to give full support in it. Make a rule to ‘helmet first, fuel later’, because wearing a helmet is the simplest insurance of life. ”
Earlier last year, the government issued similar instructions and refused to give petrol to those who run without helmets. The government’s effort is that through this campaign, people should be encouraged and aware to install helmets while traveling from two wheelers.
