Tura, June 25: In an effort to raise awareness about drug abuse and illicit trafficking while fostering a tranquil atmosphere, the West Garo Hills District has declared June 26, 2023 (Monday) as a ‘No Honking Day’ from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM.

The proclamation of this special day aligns with the significance of the ‘International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking.’ It serves as a reminder of the importance of collective action in combating drug-related issues. With the aim of promoting consciousness and making a positive impact, the district seeks to cultivate a serene environment by encouraging citizens to abstain from unnecessary honking.

“In our efforts to raise awareness and create a positive impact, we aim to promote a serene and noise-free environment within our district. By observing a ‘No Honking Day,’ we encourage citizens to refrain from unnecessary honking and contribute to a quieter and more peaceful atmosphere,” said Jagdish Chelani, the Deputy Commissioner of West Garo Hills.

To ensure the success of this initiative, the following guidelines have been established:

1. From 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, all individuals, vehicles, and establishments within the West Garo Hills District are required to adhere to the ‘No Honking’ policy.

2. Honking should be limited to emergency situations only, such as alerting others of an immediate danger or to avoid accidents. However, even in such situations, honking should be used judiciously and minimally.

3. The traffic police department has been entrusted with the responsibility of enforcing strict compliance with this order.

4. The use of sirens by essential services, including ambulances, fire brigades, and those involved in the maintenance of law and order, are exempted from the ‘No Honking Day’ restrictions.
