The Shillong Traffic Police (STP) has set a reminder to both two-wheeler riders and pillion riders to develop the habit of wearing helmets.
Superintendent of Police (Traffic), Siddharth Ambedkar in a release today said that this is one of the measures for road safety.
Informing that awareness drives have been conducted in this regard, the SP said, “This is to remind the general public that Shillong Traffic Police will enforce the same from December 1, 2020 and any violation of the above direction, violators will be booked under Section 194 D of Motor Vehicle (Amendment) Act, 2019.”
