Yes . Definitely. The number of Road accident has reduced drastically. Govt running this campaign from 2016 , and after 6 years we can say it has impact on common people.
On the other hand street traffic police has been very tough for those who dont wear helmet and shoes during bike ride. Some time they also did Gandhigiri by giving free basic helmet or Red Rose for those who intentionally break traffic rules.

I disagree. Most people would be cautious if they are made to buy a helmet along with paying the fine.
