On July 6,2018, the UT administration had amended an earlier notification of exempting all women from wearing helmets to exempt only turban wearing Sikh women. Later, the administration issued notification and exempted only Sikh women from wearing helmets, even if they did not wear a turban, in December 2018. Later, the UT police modified the notification and implemented Central Vehicle Rules and under this rule, Sikh women can be challaned for not wearing helmets while driving or riding on two wheeler, if they are not wearing a turban.
