Charity begins at home. And for Ahmedabad police now, so does safety.
GS Malik, the Ahmedabad Commissioner of Police (CP), on Friday issued an office order asking police personnel to follow the traffic rule of wearing helmets before enforcing it on citizens.
Malik has asked all officers in charge of police stations to ensure their personnel and officers follow this rule.
The CP has barred the entry of personnel into police premises if they arrive on duty on two-wheelers without a helmet.
Further, DCPs have been asked to make sure that enough personnel are appointed to check if their colleagues are following the helmet rule.
The order also highlighted National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) data on deaths in road accidents in which the victims were not wearing helmets.
Further, the office order stated that those violating the helmet rule will be booked under the Motor Vehicles (MV) Act. Malik said disciplinary action would also be initiated against those not following the order.
