Delhi High Court Urge BIS To Monitor Manufacturing, Sale Of Helmets

Taking note of safety standards, the Delhi High Court on April 12 urged the Bureau of Indian Standards to oversee the selling and manufacturing of helmets. Reportedly, the plea filed by NGO 'Utprerit Consumer Foundation' failed to receive answers from BIS over its 1,400 complaints filed since 2019. Terming BIS ‘unresponsive’, the plea blamed manufacturers of selling sub-standard helmets. Justice Pratibha M Singh directed BIS to opt strict surveillance.
