The Mumbai police have intensified their crackdown on helmetless riding, with 4,593 such cases recorded between 8 am and 5 pm. This action underscores the importance of two-wheeler riders donning protective gear to reduce the risk of head injuries in case of accidents.

In the same nine-hour period, the cops booked 429 for riding three-up. This measure is aimed at curbing overcrowding on two-wheelers, which poses significant safety hazards to both passengers and other road users.

“These stringent measures are to ensure the safety and well-being of citizens during festive occasions. Commuters are urged to adhere to traffic rules and exercise caution while celebrating,” a traffic police officer said.
