In a surprising and funny turn of events, residents of Punjab have started putting helmets on their donkeys to avoid traffic fines under the city’s strict E-Challan system. Videos and photos of donkeys trotting along busy streets wearing helmets have gone viral, leaving social media in splits.
The trend began after authorities increased monitoring of two-wheelers and riders without helmets. Some creative citizens decided to extend this safety measure to their donkeys, ensuring no one — human or animal — is caught violating traffic rules.
Local traffic police have reacted with humor, calling it a “unique approach” to road safety, while warning that helmets alone don’t make animals safe on roads. Social media users have flooded timelines with memes, jokes, and laughter, making the story one of the funniest viral news items from Punjab this week.
Whether it’s a serious lesson about safety or just a hilarious stunt, one thing is clear: Punjab streets have never been more entertaining!
