Union Road Transport and Highways minister Nitin Gadkari on Monday, April 21, said he is considering to bring a law under which only the sound of Indian musical instruments can be used as a horn for vehicles.
Addressing the 78th Foundation Year Celebration of Navbharat Times, Gadkari said, “I am planning to make a law that horns of all vehicles should be in Indian musical instruments so that it is pleasant to hear. Flute, tabla, violin, harmonium.”
The transport sector contributes to 40 percent of the air pollution in the country, he said, adding that the Union government promotes vehicles that run on green and bio-fuel, including methanol, ethanol.
Gadkari noted that India gets maximum revenue from exports of two-wheeler vehicles and cars.
According to him, in 2014, the Indian automobile sector was valued at Rs 14 trillion, which has now grown to Rs 22 trillion.
Gadkari said India has surpassed Japan to become the world’s third-largest automobile market, following the US and China.
Gadkari further pointed out that running a newspaper is difficult as the owner has to raise money from advertisement to meet its operational expenses.
