The No Helmet No Petrol rule dies a premature death in Kolka

The No Helmet No Petrol campaign has died a premature death similar to the thousands of lives that are lost on the roads every year and which the initiative was precisely designed to prevent.

In July, the state government had instructed petrol pumps within the city that a biker without a helmet or one with a pillion rider not wearing the headgear should not be sold petrol at any petrol pump in Kolkata.
