Increase in number of accidents

The number of accidents is increasing daily in Mumbai and its suburbs. The rate of two-wheeler accidents is also higher in these. The two-wheeler rider wears a helmet before getting on the vehicle. Often, the person sitting on the back of the vehicle does not wear a helmet. The people sitting on the back include young children.

Many times in accidents, incidents of death of young children sitting on the back occur. To reduce these incidents, and so that young children also wear helmets, this unique initiative is being implemented by the Thane Collector's Office and the Helmet Man of India group.
