New traffic rules implemented in Punjab, those sitting in the back seat will also have to wear seatbelts, otherwise it will not work.

Seat belt has become mandatory even for the rear seat occupants in cars and motor vehicles. ADGP Traffic AS Roy said that we are implementing the decision of the Government of India. He informed that seat belt has become mandatory even for the rear seat occupants in cars and motor vehicles. However, the Government of India has already taken a decision in this regard, which has now been issued to all Police Commissioners and SSPs in the state to implement it.

In the issued orders, it has been written to all the Police Commissioners and SSPs to instruct the in-charges of the Traffic Education Cell posted under them to inform the general public and the PCR Chief-Officer police station, outposts, officers running in their Commissionerate/District. The drivers of the vehicles should be told in a meeting that whenever they will drive, they will drive only by wearing seat belts. If a gunman sits on the driver's side seat, he will also be wearing a seat belt.
