- Many people suggested Delhi Police to take action against modified headlamps and high-beam usage as well.
The Delhi Traffic Police on Saturday said that it has launched a special drive to penalise motorists who use pressure horns and modified silencers in their vehicles. PTI reports that a fine of ₹1,000 will be imposed on violators, as modifying silencers come under registration certificate violation.

The Delhi Traffic Police took to Twitter to inform people about the drive. "Starting today, #DelhiTrafficPolice shall be penalising those who use pressure horns and modified silencers in their vehicles. #DelhiMeinShorNahi," reads the tweet. The report further claims that action against the rule violators was already being taken. However, the focus will now increase. Challans will be issued to those found creating noise pollution by violating the norms and using pressure horns or modified silencers, a police official said to the news agency.

A user wrote, "Pls do same for modified Headlights and high beam usage". Another user tweeted, "Good.
