Thanks to the new law, which makes helmets mandatory for pillion riders, traffic police in Mangaluru, other parts of Dakshina Kannada district and Udupi booked hundreds of violators within few hours after the law came into force in the region on February 1.

Though the rule was clamped Karnataka on January 12 the police in coastal districts many other parts of the state started levying fine on violators from Monday. In Bengaluru, the cops started strictly implementing the rules from January 21.

Mangaluru Police Commissioner M Chandra Sekhar said that the police had given time till January 31 and created awareness among the general pubic about the need to wear helmets. The rule is now strictly being implemented, he said.

Deputy Commissioner of Police (Traffic and Crime) Sanjeev M. Patil said Rs. 100 fine would be imposed on the offending rider. As the traffic police are equipped with Blackberry devices to record traffic violations and issue chalans, it would be easy to find out repeat offenders. Repeat offenders would be dealt with as per the Supreme Court directive.

A traffic police constable indicated that many officers would not leave the rider alone after imposing Rs. 100 fine for violating the helmet rule.

The officers would also charge the offender with another offence — negligent riding — and impose an addtional fine of Rs. 300, with a view to deter recurrence of such practices, he said.

Dakshina Kannada Superintendent of Police S.D. Sharanappa said that the district police are geared up to enforce the rule. In the last three weeks, the police conducted awareness programmes in the respective police station jurisdictions.

Kozhikode, Jun 14: A mosque in Kuttichira of Kozhikode has found a unique way to avoid crowding amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The committee that runs the mosque has started issuing smart cards to people for offering prayers and simultaneously encouraging social distancing.

"The committee has given smart cards with numbers to the people in the surroundings of the Masjid. One who enters the mosque premises has to rub their hands with sanitizers. They also have to tell their identity on camera. The automatic system has been put in place to save the address and phone number. Next time onwards they have to say their smart card number only so that other details will be automatically filled," said Muhammad Sajjad, who is part of the Mosque committee.

"The door of the mosque will open automatically after swiping the card. We have fit in a sensor on the doors. We have also made marks inside the mosque area so that people can abide by social distancing norm," he added.

A couple of days back the Kerala government has rolled out an order allowing the opening of places of worship, malls and restaurants from June 9 in strict accordance with guidelines and social distancing norms. As per the guidelines, pregnant women and those with co-morbidities should not visit any places of worship. Those with symptoms should not be allowed.
