The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways is also thinking about making seat belt wearing compulsory for those in the back seat. Nitin Gadkari, the minister of highways and road transportation, has stated that a new law is in the works that will enable traffic police to penalise drivers of vehicles with back seat passengers who are not buckled up.
We have modified the law to include passengers in the back seat as well, Gadkari said during a speech at an event. Previously, only the driver and co-passenger faced penalties for failing to wear seat belts.

Gadkari promised that cameras would be deployed everywhere to catch drivers and those who don’t use seat belts. According to the Ministry, both front and back seat occupants would be subject to the new regulation.
