According to the Delhi police, in 2010, around 700 people died in Delhi two-wheeler related accidents. Most of them were not wearing helmets. In order to cut down the death, Noida administration's new scheme 'No Helmet No Petrol' was issued. Which failed badly. Seemed like ignored by both riders and fuel stations.
"This is the work of the police and they should keep an eye on it. Why is the baton being passed on to us? Around 40-50 per cent of the two-wheeler customers who come to us do not wear helmets. If we stop giving them petrol our revenue will drop drastically. Also, what if tomorrow a customers acts violent for not giving him fuel? This would just create a bad name in the market," said an executive of a petrol pump, aware of the order passed by the DM.
I agree with the executive. I know some guy got violent when he was asked for his ID trying to buy some booze.
