In Indore, a motorcyclist's unconventional maneuver turned heads when he wore a milk tank lid in place of a helmet while refueling at a petrol pump. This humorous act quickly went viral online, leaving netizens amused and the local administration embarrassed by the creative defiance of the 'no helmet, no petrol' mandate.

This incident led the administration to take decisive action by sealing the petrol pump, emphasizing their commitment to enforcing safety regulations. The petrol station's violation of the order highlighted the strict enforcement of the rule, which prohibits selling petrol to two-wheeler riders without helmets.

Indore's administration has a clear mandate after directions from Abhay Manohar Sapre, chairman of the Supreme Court's Road Safety Committee. The campaign seeks strict adherence to road safety rules, underscoring the punitive measures for non-compliance, potentially including imprisonment or fines.
