Hassan: In order to create awareness among the two-wheeler riders about the ill-effects of wearing a half-helmet, the Hassan Traffic Police have begun seizure of such helmets.

The police, from the past two days are not only seizing them but are also destroying them right in front of the users.

According to the police sources, the two-wheeler riders were wearing such helmets to escape the penalty of not wearing a helmet.

They said that most of them were buying such helmets because they were available at a very low price compared to other ISI certified helmets.

Meanwhile, the police are directing the riders to wear only ISI certified helmets.

As a counter reaction to this, the riders have criticized the police department saying that the police officials too were wearing half helmets against whom there were no stringent actions taken.
