Folks, it's 'No Horn Day'
The New Indian Express Kochi
|February 12, 2025
WEDNESDAY will be observed as 'No Horn Day' in city limits. This police initiative is aimed at raising awareness about the harmful effects of excessive honking, particularly its contribution to noise pollution and the associated health risks.
"Changing public behaviour is not an overnight task," says City Police Commissioner Putta Vimaladitya. "On the roads, we often see people honking unnecessarily. By dedicating a specific day as 'No Horn Day', we hope to instill civic responsibility and encourage people to think twice before honking."
According to the Central Pollution Control Board, areas within a 100m radius of hospitals, educational institutions, and courts can be designated as 'silent zones'.

When Our National Spectacle Crushes Its Own
Hathras in 2024 at a religious satsang, where followers stampede in a rush of blind devotion, while the state machinery busies itself trying to control the narrative. Even at the greatest of religious festivals, the Kumbh Mela, where millions gather, crowd-related deaths occur with horrifying regularity, often covered up and casually dismissed as a ‘logistical inevitability.’

Almost moving. Had it not been for the fact that, during our 20-minute chat, he checked his phone 17 times. That's once every 45 seconds—20 if you subtract the part where he closed his eyes and said “Mmm” to pretend he was listening
