Mumbai: The Mumbai Traffic Police has penalized more than 6,200 people for riding two-wheelers and pillions without a helmet, an official has said.

The action was taken on Thursday, he said. According to the traffic police official, in south Mumbai alone, over 3,100 persons were penalized for riding motorcycles and pillions without wearing a helmet.

”From Thursday, the city traffic police launched a drive against the helmetless riding. Wearing helmets while riding two-wheelers or pillion has been made mandatory.
