August 1, 2018

Only 20,000 or 1% of the total 20 lakh pillion riders in Mumbai wear helmets, according to a study by Johns Hopkins University and IIT-Bombay under the Bloomberg Philanthropies Initiative for Global Road Safety.

The traffic police have attributed the dismal figure to staff crunch and lack of awareness among people.
