Home Minister Kodiyeri Balakrishnan has said the police will take strong action against motorists driving vehicles without fastening seat belts and two-wheeler riders who do not wear helmets.
Inaugurating the traffic awareness campaign for schoolchildren here on Wednesday, he said stringent enforcement of the High Court direction on the use of seat belts and helmets was necessary for reducing the accident rate in the State. So far, the police resorted to ‘other measures’ to enforce the use of helmets and seat belts.
This was following criticism that the police were harassing people under the pretext of enforcing traffic rules, he said.
