The transport department in Gautam Budh Nagar, India, has initiated a district-wide enforcement drive targeting vehicles with modified silencers, pressure horns, and illegal sirens due to increasing concerns over noise pollution and road safety. This action follows directives from the state transport commissioner and observations from the Allahabad High Court's Lucknow bench. Special teams are conducting intensive checks across Noida and Greater Noida, focusing on vehicles that produce excessively loud sounds. Offenders face fines of ₹10,000 and may have their vehicles seized under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, specifically Section 190(2), which prohibits unauthorized vehicle modifications. The campaign includes surprise inspections of motor garages and workshops, with warnings issued to dealers against selling illegal devices. The transport department plans to hold meetings with transport unions to raise awareness about the harmful effects of noise pollution and encourage reporting of violations. Officials emphasize that modified silencers not only violate the law but also pose health risks and compromise road safety.
