Minister KB Ganesh Kumar said that the law will not be made mandatory for anyone and that child seats in cars will not be made mandatory for the time being. Helmets are better for babies. The Transport Commissioner has only said what the law says, the intention is to create awareness. Not fine. The Minister added that the Transport Commissioner only intended to have a discussion.
The minister also said that babies should be seated in the back if possible. Children’s safety is important. It is enough for the mother to sit in the back with the child. The rule is that children should sit in the back. The minister clarified that the law will not be enforced strictly, no penalty will be imposed and the law will not be enforced. The minister said that the government has not thought of implementing this. It is true that the car was not insured in the Kozhikode accident. Not all vehicles can afford insurance. The minister stated that the court had also said that it should not be taken like that.
