Women Wear Helmet or face 'Challan' from today in Chandigarh The UT Traffic Police will start challaning women two-wheeler riders without helmets from Wednesday. A close watch will be kept on women two-wheeler riders and issue challans to those not wearing helmet. The new rule applies to the pillion riders as well, the police official said. The Administration had issued a notification on July 6, making helmet compulsory for women. Only Sikh women wearing a turban will be exempted from wearing helmet. The Traffic Police in the past ran a campaign, “Helmet Pehnao, Beti Bachao”, to encourage women two-wheeler riders to wear the safety gear. Cops even distributed helmets and other gifts during the campaign to women riding two-wheelers while wearing helmet. -PTC News
