The Brahampur traffic police have collected about Rs 12 lakh as fine from bikers for not using helmets, during the last month.
Meanwhile, Traffic DSP Thakur Prasad Patro has warned that the helmet checking would be intensified at different places in the city in coming days.
Sources said police have planned to collect Rs 300 instead of Rs 100 from each biker for violating the helmet-use norm henceforth.
The police had imposed ‘No helmet, No petrol’ restriction on August 15, 2017. Then, it took an awareness drive for 15 days to inform people about the restriction.
In September, helmet checking was conducted ap posh areas like Khallikote College Square, Giri Road and Aska Road and a total fine of Rs 11, 91, 790 collected.
