IMA relaunches ‘no-honk’ campaign in city
The Hindu
Walkathon to be held today
The campaign to convert Kochi into a no-honk zone is set to gain momentum after a lull due to the pandemic, with IMA-Kochi joining hands with the MVD in organising a No-Horn Walkathon at 6.30 a.m. on Sunday from IMA Hall.
The Association of Otolaryngologists of India and National Initiative for Safe Sound (NISS) too have joined hands in the initiative that is aimed at driving home the point that the use of air horns and other high-decibel devices severely impedes mental and physical health, and that honking be done only during emergency situations.
The MVD has begun imposing penalty on vehicles that are fitted with air horns, heeding a directive issued by the Transport Commissioner.
