Bhopal and Indore to Deny Fuel to Helmetless Riders
Starting August 1st, if you ride a motorcycle or scooter in Bhopal or Indore and aren't wearing a helmet, you won't get any fuel.
This is because the government wants to make the roads safer and make sure everyone is following the rules.
Fuel stations have been told they have to follow this rule, and if you break the rule you could face legal action.
The officials hope this will help people to wear helmets and be safe.
Bhopal and Indore will deny fuel to two-wheeler riders without helmets starting August 1.
The directive was issued by the Bhopal and Indore Collectors, citing rising road accidents.
