Nagpur: In what could be mentioned as challenging the directives of the High Court, the Youth Congress activists of the city assembled in front of Devadia Bhavan on March 8, 2016.
The Youth Congress activists intend to take out a rally without wearing helmet as an act of opposing the compulsory helmet rule led by President of Youth Congress Nagpur Bunty Shelke.
The High Court had issued a rule directing the Traffic Department to ensure that all two-wheeler riders wear the protective head gear (Helmets) mandatory. This High Court had also directed that riders not wearing helmets will have to face punishment under the Motor Vehicles Act.
