Union Minister of Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari while addressing a public event said that he is planning to put an end to sirens on VIP vehicles. He made the statement in Pune where he joined the inauguration ceremony of Pune's Chandni Chowk flyover.
Gadkari said that he wants to replace the sound of horns, sirens with a soothing music of Indian musical instruments. "I am making a policy in which the siren sound would be replaced by the sound of Basuri (flute), tabla, and 'shankh'. I want people to be relieved from noise pollution.", said Gadkari.
