PUNE:
Commissioner of Police Satyapal Singh on Wednesday issued an order making it
mandatory for the police staff to wear helmets while riding two-wheelers.
The rule is applicable to
everyone in the police department - from peon to deputy commissioner-level
officer.
Although the order
makes no mention of initiating a similar drive for citizens, Singh, in his
previous stint in Nagpur, had made helmets compulsory for two-wheeler riders.
However, he was transferred to
Pune before the order could be implemented.
