In an adverse reaction to the rules, two-wheeler riders and fuel dealers had threatened to strike from August 1. The Maharashtra government is likely to reconsider the ‘No helmet, no fuel’ rule, set to be implemented from August 1. These rules put the onus on petrol pump owners. From August 1, no two-wheeler riders will be sold petrol at pumping stations if they are not wearing helmets. Giving in to the resistance from two-wheeler riders and petrol pump owners, the government decided to assess the feasibility of its implementation, said chief minister Devendra Fadnavis on Thursday.
