Traffic cops seize 1,350 bikes, 4,850 pressure horns; plan to crush them under bulldozer

Cops seizing modified silencers
The Mumbai Traffic Police have launched a special drive against vehicles with pressure horns and modified bike silencers. They have seized 1,350 bikes with modified silencers and removed the silencers on the spot. Additionally, 4,850 vehicles with pressure horns have been targeted. All seized horns and silencers will be crushed under a bulldozer on June 3 in the presence of top ministers and police officers.
The Bombay High Court was strict about the noise pollution on city roads, prompting the government to take this initiative. Under the supervision of Joint Commissioner Anil Kumbhare, 41 traffic division police officers in the city started this special drive on May 21, which will end on June 3. Most of the bikes seized were Royal Enfields with modified silencers.
