So you are in the car, waiting to reach home and the traffic doesn’t let you have hope. The horn and the sirens used by cars and ambulances irritates the mind and ear.
Union Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari feels the same. He even is thinking to replace these sirens with a more pleasant tune played on the All India Radio.
On Monday, October 4, 2021, he said that he was planning to bring a law that will use the sound of Indian musical instruments as a horn for vehicles.
Sound Of Indian Musical Instruments Is Allowed As Horn For Vehicles
Mr Gadkari, speaking at a highway inauguration event here, said he was looking into replacing the ambulance and police car sirens with more pleasant music broadcast on All India Radio.
Mr Gadkari said he put an end to red beacons. “Now I want to put an end to these sirens as well. Now I am studying the sirens (used by) ambulances and police.
“An artist composed a tune of Akashwani (All Indian Radio) and it was played early in the morning. I am thinking of using that tune for ambulances so that people feel pleasant. It is so irritating, especially after Ministers pass by, the sirens are used at full volume. This also harms the ears.
“I am studying this and soon planning to make a law that the horns of all vehicles should be in Indian musical instruments so that it is pleasant to hear. Flute, tabla, violin, mouth organ, harmonium,” Mr. Gadkari said.
