A new gazette notification issued by the Minister of Transport, Highways, Ports and Civil Aviation has made it mandatory for drivers and all passengers traveling along expressways to wear seat belts.
According to the regulation, the driver and every passenger occupying a seat in a motor vehicle on an expressway must wear an individual safety seat belt while the vehicle is in motion.
The gazette further stipulates that no vehicle will be permitted to enter or operate on an expressway unless it is fitted with seat belts for the driver and all passengers.
