HC orders ban on pressure horns, flag rods & extra lights on vehicles
Imposing a complete ban on the use of pressure horns and flag rods, a division bench in its order stated that pressure horns and multi-tone horns fitted in vehicles will not be allowed to run in the state. Similarly, vehicles fitted with extra lights, particularly those which are red and blue in colour and give a semblance of emergency vehicles, should be removed immediately, it added.
The bench also ordered the administration to ensure that unauthorised use of flag rods and flags, irrespective of their affiliation to political parties and religious denominations, be removed forthwith.
The court ordered that provisions of the Flag Code have to be duly followed and the statute of Central Motor Vehicle Rules and Noise Pollution Regulation and Control Rules be followed in letter and spirit. The court also banned the use of loudspeakers without permission from 10 pm till 6 am.
A division bench of Chief Justice Tarlok Singh Chauhan and Justice Sujit Narayan Prasad, while hearing a public interest litigation on July 28, ordered the director general of police Anurag Gupta and Jharkhand state pollution control board member secretary to file individual affidavits to confirm compliance with the direction of the court regarding the implementation of the court's direction.

The affidavits of the DGP and member secretary, Jharkhand state pollution control board, will have to be filed before the next date of hearing, which is fixed for August 11.
The court was hearing a PIL filed by one Khushi Lal Mahto on the bad condition of roads at Basantpur village in Ramgarh. The road in the village goes up to a coal washery run by the Central Coalfield Limited. The petitioner said that heavy trucks operate in the area carrying coal to the washery, due to which the roads are damaged.
The trucks carry coal without any cover, which further causes coal dust to fly, causing severe pollution in the area. The court ordered the immediate repair of the road by the authorities and to ensure that the trucks carrying coal be covered with tarpaulin. Further, the court ordered Ramgarh SP Ajay Kumar to ensure that the trucks do not cause any noise pollution by using pressure horns.

BENGALURU: India forced Pakistan "to its knees within hours" during Operation Sindoor in early May, PM Narendra Modi said Sunday, while calling the military success a show of "the new face" of a nation powered by technology and home-grown defence manufacturing. His remarks reinforced the nation's position that no external party, including the US, played a role in the pause in military action between India and Pakistan after Operation Sindoor was launched following the April 22 terrorist attack in Pahalgam on that killed 26 men. Earlier, IAF chief Air Chief Marshal AP Singh had detailed how the 88-90-hour campaign crippled Pakistan's systems and pushed it to seek talks through DGMO.

He credited "technology and the strength of Make-in-India in defence" for the success, saying Bengaluru and Karnataka's youth played a "significant role". by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like New Container Houses Indonesia (Prices May Surprise You) Container House | Search ads Search Now Undo TOI had earlier reported that Bengaluru-built systems - SkyStriker suicide drones from the private sector, Akash missiles from BEL, and other BEL, HAL and private-sector products - were deployed.
