Bikers Barred from Traveling on Peshawar Road without Helmets
Authorities in Rawalpindi have imposed a ban on bikers, who are not wearing a helmet, from entering the Mall Road/Peshawar Road as an attempt to prevent accidents in the area.
The authorities have put this ban amid rising accidents. As per the details, the reason behind the death of 16 people in 46 different accidents in the past 10 months has been that the riders were not wearing a helmet.
Deputy Commissioner Rawalpindi Dr. Omar Jahangir said that the life of the citizens is very valuable to them and many lose their life just because of not wearing a helmet.
He told the media that they are about to launch a campaign, in collaboration with the city traffic police, to ensure and promote the use of a helmet.
Notably, the administration has set up stalls in Rawalpindi for people to buy helmets at a reasonable price.
