Viral poster gains public support, authorities urged to implement such steps across all fuel stations<\/strong><\/p>\n

Srinagar, Nov 20 (KNO): A petrol pump at Bypass, Srinagar has put up a poster about road safety, declaring no fuel for vehicles driven by minors and those driving two-wheelers without helmets.<\/p>\n

The poster reads: \u201cFor 2 Wheelers, No Helmet, No Fuel\u201d and \u201cFor Minors, No Fuel\u201d.<\/p>\n

On November 14, two young boys died, while another one was critically injured after a tragic collision between two vehicles occurred near the Tengpora area in Srinagar, which triggered debate about minor driving and road safety in the valley. Also, the traffic police on Tuesday issued a WhatsApp number to report traffic violations.<\/p>\n

According to the news agency\u2014Kashmir News Observer (KNO), the poster which specifically targets minors riding in the valley and two-wheelers without helmets, has gone viral, drawing praise from residents and urging authorities to take action.<\/p>\n

The initiative, displayed by a fueling station near Bypass Srinagar, focuses on preventing minors from riding without proper safety measures, especially helmets.<\/p>\n

The message aims to enforce stricter safety norms, stressing that fueling stations should not provide fuel to minors or those without helmets. This initiative soon received support as it went viral on social media.<\/p>\n

Nadeem Bashir, a local from Bemina Srinagar, said, \u201cI fully support this initiative. It\u2019s high time something is done to stop minors from riding without helmets. This rule should be made mandatory across all fuel stations.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cToo many young people are riding recklessly, and this will certainly make a difference.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another resident, Sahi Mir, said, \u201cThe authorities should implement this idea as soon as possible. It\u2019s not just about helmets or giving fuel to minors, but saving the lives of minors who are often seen riding dangerously.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hailing the initiative, a local shopkeeper said, \u201cIt is a great idea. Fuel stations should be part of the solution to curb underage riding. If they refuse to provide fuel, it will send a strong message about safety and responsibility.\u201d<\/p>\n

As the poster went viral, it sparked hopes that similar measures could be enforced throughout the city, ensuring minors prioritise their safety while riding two-wheelers\u2014(KNO)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
