No Honking Day in Delhi today

New Delhi: If you like honking your way through the streets of the Capital, devoid of concern that a hospital or a school is around, the first day of this New Year is for you to stay indoors! With unnecessary honking becoming a menace for Delhi and many other metropolitans , an NGO in collaboration with the Delhi Traffic Police will observe January 1as a “no honking day” signalling stricter implementation of rules, including slapping of penalty on violators. In the Capital, which is already abuzz with posters asking people driving on the roads to behave, the “no-honking day” will imply that traffic police will crack down on those who unnecessarily blaze horns.- PTI
