KTR Has A Solution For Annoying Honkers

IT Minister K. T. Rama Rao has come out with an innovative way to deal with the persistently increasing honking menace in Hyderabad. He was Impressed with Mumbai police’s ‘punishing signal’ initiative and hence took it upon himself to implement the same in the state.

The whole principle behind Mumbai police’s initiative is that they fix a decibel level on few signal poles and if decibel levels go over 85 dB, the signal would reset and stay red for longer. This is defined by the Mumbai police as the 'punishing signals’.

This will not only reduce honking at the stops, but motorists will stop in time and not jump signals, resulting in less number of challans.

"Let’s get this done in our Hyderabad too. Need of the hour," the Minister tweeted. Netizens also welcomed his move to introduce such an innovative system in the state. Some said that the Minister should follow it up seriously and hoped that the police will respond positively.
