Even as awareness is being spread everywhere for obeying traffic rules after implementation of the amended MV Act, members of the Balasore Bar Association have sought exemption from wearing helmets while driving two-wheelers.
The association has passed a resolution in this regard. In a letter to the district SP, the lawyers’ body has mentioned that they are attending different courts during office hours near periphery areas. They may be exempted from using helmet between 8 am and 8 pm, the letter pleaded, adding that they should not be detained during this period.
Copies of the resolution have also been sent to the Collector, the Regional Transport Officer (RTO) and the Inspector of Traffic Police.
