The Hyderabad Traffic Police booked 304 motorists for using unauthorised sirens and multi-tone horns on two-wheelers and four-wheelers during a special enforcement drive launched across the city on October 12.

According to a press note issued on Saturday, the police booked 182 violations involving unauthorised sirens and another 122 cases involving multi-tone horns.

The drive was undertaken to curb the use of prohibited horns and sirens, which contribute to noise pollution and can mislead other road users into believing that private vehicles are emergency vehicles.
