Mysore/Mysuru: In a bid to prevent fatalities during accident, the Government of India has launched nation-wide crackdown against the cheap plastic cap and sub-standard helmets being sold on roadside. Similarly, the City Police are also all set to launch a crackdown against sale of sub-standard helmets.
The Central Government has mandated the use of helmet for two-wheeler riders as per The Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. However, the use of sub-standard helmets has prompted the Government to enforce the Quality Control Order that mandates ISI certified helmets under IS 4151:2015 standards approved by Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS).
