The International Business Times India reports that a group of campaigners in Karnatak state in India introduced a similar no honking initiative two years ago to dissuade drivers from honking excessively. Ever since then, reports IBT India, Mondays are observed in the state capital as no-honking day with billboards bearing messages such as “Do not honk unnecessarily.”
The campaign has got significant government and public support, and IBT India reports that there’s been a decrease in honking in that metropolis especially on Mondays. Campaigners hope that more people would become aware about the need to honk less and they hope it will steadily reduce excessive honking.
Share your thoughts...thanks!
