The new government needs to BAN honking throughout West Bengal
We need a rule that bans honking altogether in our state unless for extreme emergencies. And maybe I would say that only emergency vehicles should be allowed to use sirens.
Having a peaceful siestas in the afternoon can be difficult. Roads become extremely loud and stressful to walk on. And I live in a relatively very peaceful area.
We should make an appeal like this to the new government. I do understand that people who drive will face difficulties. So as a result, I would also say that something should also be done so that people follow traffic rules properly.
Anti-honking rules have been implemented in Sikkim and in the North-eastern states. They are a part of our country and the condition of roads (in Sikkim, at least) in those states is much worse than that of West Bengal. So, why can't we do something similar?
By the way, I am not a fan of cruel punishments. In India, police misbehave with rule-breakers and do not give them the basic dignity that they deserve. For example, they beat people or force them to do squats. It is often said that rule-breakers fear getting caught and not the punishment itself. Hence, I would say that there needs to be some kind of fine that is made for people who violate this rule. Nothing too harsh...
