Patna has witnessed phenomenal growth in the last decade be it population, urbanization, traffic as well as the numbers of vehicle on the roads. Management of people and traffic has become the biggest challenge for the traffic police in the city. There are many side effects associated with this growth also apart from pollution.
As the number of vehicles has increased on the roads so has the chaos. This works as a slow poison for us in the long run.
One crucial ailment associated with pollution is the unnecessary use of horns of our vehicle. It may be unintentional but it is observed that we are into this bad habit which adds to this menace on the road. Some people in the needless hurry use their horns to overtake creating more noise pollution.
Even the bikers andare doing this they are ore prone to the danger since they drive recklessly putting risk to their lives as well as the other commuters. Majority of them are minors and don’t even have proper license or even wear helmets for the safety.
One major culprits for the noise pollution are the VIP’S who are given special torch on their vehicle and they make unnecessary noise in order to create an impression or virtue of their powers.
We all are culprit in one sense or the other in the multiplication of this noise pollution. And our nagging habit of overuse of horns adds to the fire.
This can’t be changed by imposing stricts rule by the traffic police. The education of the public is also necessary. If we are concerned and seriously think to reduce the noise on our roads we have to behave and act in a more responsible manner.
The warning signs near hospitals, schools, etc. will have little effect even the message put as a slogan “No Horn Please” will not make severe impact.
The land of Bihar is known for its peace and tolerance. Being the Place of Buddha and Mahavira this very land preached the message of love across the world. But unfortunately we in the present era have forgotten our prestigious past which brought us glory and laurels all over the world. Now we are becoming more intolerant and harsh to others. The fast commercial world and in order to out do others at least in monetary terms we are losing some basics norms which made our culture special which taught us to give priority to others over ourselves.
We are the gen next. We are the future citizens of tomorrow. We have to seriously carry forward this noble and just idea of preventing noise pollution and creating a peaceful society. Together we have to undertake this responsibility. Support of one and all is needed. The need of the hour is creating awareness among the people not only in Patna but all over the society. Apart from following basic ettiquetes traffic rules and regulations also have to be strictly followed. This practise has to be seriously applied in our daily lives.
