Indore (Madhya Pradesh): In a major crackdown against the use of modified silencer and noise pollution, the City Traffic Police destroyed over 1,500 such silencers and 70 illegal hooters by running a road roller over them on Monday.

The action took place in the Vijay Nagar area in the presence of DCP (Traffic) Anand Kaladgi and other senior traffic officials. Police said many people modify bike silencers, causing them to emit loud, cracker-like noises, which pose a safety risk and increase the likelihood of accidents.

For the past three months, traffic police teams across the city have been conducting surprise checks at major squares to catch vehicles fitted with loud or modified silencers and hooters that create nuisance and fear among citizens. Read Also MP News: 14 New Courses In
