Chandigarh: A 'Make Chandigarh Honk Free'
campaign has been initiated here by the city traffic police
under which people are being sensitised about not honking
needlessly on the road.
Under this novel initiative, 'I will not honk' stickers
are being distributed free of cost to people to be pasted on
the steering wheels of their vehicles.
"We are running an awareness campaign in which people
are being urged not to honk unnecessarily," Chandigarh Police
Inspector Sita, the nodal officer for this project said.
This campaign will be run throughout this year, she said
adding, no enforcement action had yet been decided to be
taken against the violators.
We have already distributed 4,500 stickers, she said.
SSP (Traffic) Chandigarh Shashank Anand is the brain
behind the 'No honking' campaign, she said.
"I will not honk" stickers are available at Children
Traffic Park, sector 23, free of cost.
Many city residents on the social media have welcomed
the move.
"I love how @trafficchd is taking the initiative to
make Chandigarh a honk free city! Great work @ssptfcchd and
team! #MakeChandigarhHonkFree," said one Harshdeep Singh on
his twitter handle.
