An anti-helmet lobby in Pune city in Maharashtra has decided to oppose a police initiative to make motorists compulsorily wear helmets.
The group, calling themselves Anti-Helmet Compulsion Action Committee (AHCAC), Tuesday carried out a mock funeral of a helmet at Vaikunth crematorium here as part of its protest.
Balasaheb Runwal, a member of the group said, "We demand that the use of helmet should be voluntary and not forced. Looking at road conditions and traffic congestion, it is not feasible for two-wheeler riders to wear helmet as the average speed of the vehicle is low."
