Ban on hydraulic horn

I am writing this letter, after reading Md. A. Alim's letter of 26th September in your columns on hydraulic horn. Hydraulic horns are banned by law in our country. But I doubt if there is any implementation of the law. I had a bitter experience while I was returning to Dhaka from Chuadanga with my wife and two-year-old son after celebrating Eid with my family members. We were sitting just behind the driver and observed that the driver was continuously blowing the hydraulic horn creating great disturbance to my two-year-old son and other passengers, and scaring the passers-by all the way. I requested the driver several times not to use the hydraulic horn as my son got frightened. But he didn't listen to me. The law will not be implemented unless the government takes stern action against the bus owners and drivers who use hydraulic horns. I, therefore, request the government to take action against these arrogant drivers for the sake of public health.
