The parties took out a protest rally on Thursday
Congress MLC Mohan Joshi, said, "There are various reasons why people don't want to wear helmets. If the police are that worried about people, they should increase patrolling, stop atrocities on women and robberies in homes. They're doing this to grab money from people." Deputy commissioner of police (traffic), Tejaswini Satpute said, "We are implementing the law. Many support this rule while a few people are agitating. In the two days since we've implemented it, around 7,500 people have been penalised."
