Mumbai observes ‘No Honking Day’
Honking one’s car is considered rude in many countries but it’s a must do thing in India. It’s an extension of saying “get out of my way.” Car driving in India is so chaotic that one cannot even get a tiny piece of road to pass by without honking. Adding salt to the wound are daring pedestrians and cyclists who cross the car’s path just when drivers are speeding across the roads.
Honking is an integral part of driving in India. It doesn’t matter if you are in front of a school or a hospital. “Honking your cars has become necessary”, say respondents to a survey of Television Channel that was covering the ‘No Honking day’ observed in Mumbai on April 7th. As many as 15 lakh people participated in the campaign to quietly protest against this new menace.

Honking is a serious problem but unfortunetly the neigher the Police department or the Pollution Control Board seems to be unbothered about this problem.
This is a serios problem that drivers hardly understand. Hope the availability of celebrities like Mr Bacchan will bring some concern among drivers
I do not understand, what is the use of observing 'No honking day' in india. The roads are so crowded that one cannot stay back with out honking.And if something like this has to be taken into consideration then, we should have a proper traffic rules and roads.
