While disclosing this here today PunjabTransport Minister, Mr. Ajit Singh Kohar said that guidelines are to be implemented within the state to ensure the safety and peace of the commuters, pedestrians and the resident community. Loud horns pose a multitude of threats and are a nuisance, contributing to noise pollution and hampering peace & tranquility. Mr. Kohar has personally issued directions to the Commissioners of Police & SSP’s and has been assured of full cooperation by the police.
He also stressed upon the need to spread awareness about safety guidelines amongst the youth of the state. A firm hand can only enforce what an educated, informed mind can execute. If the commuters are made aware of the hazards of using such horns, compliance with the ban will automatically be implemented.
