Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis Tuesday said he has asked Pune police to use CCTVs to zero in on people riding without helmets and then send challans (fine ticket) to their homes.
Fadnavis said people should not be harassed on the roads for helmet-less riding, an issue that has generated considerable heat in Pune against the backdrop of a stringent traffic police drive underway here to nab such offenders.
Speaking to the media in Mumbai, the Maharashtra CM said, "Some MLAs from Pune met me today and told me Pune police, in the name of ensuring people ride wearing helmets, was harassing commuters. They (MLAs) have said such compulsion is causing inconvenience to the riders."
