While speaking about the importance of using helmets and the city police's plan of implementing the rule of wearing helmets compulsorily, Mathur said: "If any youngster is caught driving a bike without wearing a helmet, the traffic constable will take his/her parents' email address. Apart from fining them, the traffic branch will send an email to the parents stating that their child was caught riding without a helmet, which is dangerous and even against the traffic rules."
