Such a rule will be implemented in Lucknow from January 26.According to the recently issued order, from January 26, 2025, if the bike rider and the passenger are not wearing a helmet, then petrol will not be available at all petrol pumps in Lucknow. This step has been ordered by the Uttar Pradesh Transport Department from January 8.
