The Karnataka portfolio, an account for state updates, posted this video to alert citizens involving in dangerous stunts, pointing out that life doesn't come with an undo button. "Helmets aren’t optional fashion accessories or props for viral reels they’re lifesavers. So, to every creative soul out there: skip the jugaad, wear a helmet.
