Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India, is witnessing an alarming increase in the availability of banned car accessories, including loud horns, sirens, and dark window films, which are sold openly in local markets and online platforms. Despite the Lucknow traffic police's ongoing efforts to enforce regulations through regular crackdowns, the illegal merchandise continues to flow into the city, undermining enforcement efforts. Investigations revealed that vendors often keep these items hidden from plain sight but will provide them upon request. Prices for these illegal accessories vary widely; for instance, hooters range from ₹800 to ₹6,500, while pressure horns are priced between ₹1,500 and ₹4,000. Authorities, including Babloo Kumar, joint commissioner of police (law and order), have stated that they are actively working to curb these violations and will intensify their actions against vendors. Additionally, the Allahabad High Court's Lucknow bench has directed local authorities to report on measures taken over the past five years to reduce the manufacture and sale of illegal horns, highlighting the ongoing issue of noise pollution. A government clarification from 2014 restricts the use of hooters to emergency vehicles only, emphasizing the need for stricter enforcement.
