Stop using hydraulic horns in 48-hr: HC

The High Court has directed the government to stop using hydraulic horns within 48 hours in the capital.

The HC bench of Justice Quazi Rezaul Hoque and Justice Mohammad Ullah on Wednesday passed the order after hearing a petition filed by rights organisation Human Rights and Peace for Bangladesh.

The rights organisation submitted the petition challenging the legality of hydraulic horn use and seeking necessary orders to stop sound pollution in Dhaka city.
