Damoh police give free helmets to 30 bike riders at Killai Naka on Bhai Dooj

Police in Damoh distributed free helmets to motorcyclists at Killai Naka crossing in the city on Wednesday, on the occasion of Bhai Dooj. About 30 people were given helmets in the presence of Superintendent of Police Anand Kaladagi. Police officers appealed to people to always wear a helmet while riding.

SP Kaladagi said the helmets were given to economically weaker people who are not in a position to buy one themselves. Before the helmets were handed over, the documents of all their vehicles were checked. According to him, the aim is to make people aware of the safety of themselves and their families.

The riders who received helmets thanked Damoh Police. They assured police that they would wear a helmet every time they ride.

The SP also said that around 50 free helmets had earlier been distributed at Maharana Pratap crossing on Karva Chauth. Husbands and wives were given helmets then and asked to wear them when travelling by bike and to urge others to do the same.

Additional SP Sujeet Singh Bhadauria, CSP HR Pandey, traffic police station in-charge Dalbir Singh Marko, Akanksha Joshi and other police personnel were also present at the event.
