Nashik: Union Minister Nitin Gadkari has said that the Central government was planning to bring a law under which only the sound of Indian musical instruments can be used as a horn for vehicles.

“We are thinking of bringing a law under which use of the sound of Indian musical instruments like harmonium, tabla and other musical instruments as a horn for vehicles will be compulsory. Sirens of ambulances and police vehicles will also be replaced with soothing sounds,” Gadkari said.
