Previous efforts raised helmet usage to 55%, but it's currently at 35%. Police issue about 8,000 fines monthly for not wearing helmets, with a ₹250 penalty. The move follows directives from the ADG PTRI and Jabalpur High Court. To comply, ensure both the rider and pillion passenger wear helmets when traveling on two-wheelers in Bhopal.
