Speaking to ETV Bharat, Indu Mishra, a resident of Dayalbagh said," elderly women walk with a stick in their hands with a helmet on their head. This is for safety. The stick and helmet are the parts of our safety. We don't know when the road accident will occur but just because the helmet protects our head during the accident, we are wearing a helmet".
Nowadays, the helmet has become an integral part of our body. Many accidents have happened recently. We have seen that people fell while walking and suffered a serious head injury. So we have to wear a helmet for safety, Shankar Lal, a local said.
Though it looks funny when people wear a helmet while walking or cycling but factually it signifies that it has become mandatory after the increasing rate of the accidents.
