Thiruvananthapuram: Transport Minister A.K Saseendran Saturday said there was no plan to withdraw the rule against the helmet violators.
“The government does not have any plan to withdraw the proposed rule. It will be reviewed only if it brings inconvenience to people,” the Minister told reporters.
Meanwhile, Transport Commissioner Tomin J Thachankary said it was wrong that the minister had opposed the proposed rule.
“The minister has asked us to go ahead with the project,” he said.
The Transport Commissioner earlier this week said that the rule would be in force from August 1 in three cities, Thiruvananthapuram, Kochi and Kozhikode.
Thachenkery said he discussed the suggestion with petrol pump dealers in the three cities and all of them agreed to it.
