Truck driver fined Rs 1000 for not wearing helmet in Ganjam, Odisha

Ganjam: A truck driver was fined 1,000 on Wednesday in Odisha’s Ganjam district for driving the vehicle without wearing a helmet.

The authorities issued a challenge against the truck driver for not wearing a helmet, although a helmet is not required to drive a truck.

While the challan was being issued on December 24, 2020, the truck driver was notified of the strange hanging challan when he went to the Transportation Department to renew his vehicle permit.

‘My truck permit expired, so I went to the RTO office to pay my vehicle permit fees, but they told me that three fines were already in my name. I paid the amount and took the challan. “When I saw the challan, it was imposed because I was not wearing a helmet,” said Pramod Kumar Swain, the truck driver.
