There’s a possibility in the near future that you’ll soon start hearing musical instruments in traffic jams instead of good ol’ horns. Well, this could be a possibility soon if the Minister of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH), Nitin Gadkari, decides to go ahead with it. The Union Minister recently said that he is planning to bring a law under which only the sound of Indian musical instruments can be used as vehicle horns.
According to a recent report, Nitin Gadkari was speaking at a highway inauguration ceremony in Nashik. He said, “I am studying it and soon plan to make a law that all vehicle horns should be in Indian musical instruments so that they are pleasant to hear. Flute, Tabla, Violin, Mukha Organ, Harmonium.”
The minister further said that he was also studying the sirens used by ambulances and police vehicles and replaced them with a more pleasant tune played on All India Radio.

Speaking about abolishing red beacons, Gadkari said, “Now I want to eliminate these sirens as well. I am studying the sirens (used by) ambulances and police. All Indian Radio). After the ministers have passed, the siren is used at full volume. This also causes damage to the ears.”
It is interesting to note that sirens are an integral part of emergency vehicles and systems around the world. They are essentially there to alert people to their presence and take corrective steps if necessary. On a public road, an ambulance siren would mean a patient in an emergency and in need of immediate medical attention. So other road users need to clear the way as soon as they hear the siren.

A 1999 Study Testing the effectiveness of the use of lights and sirens during ambulance transport by paramedics suggested that transit time with lights and sirens reduced by an average of 3 minutes and 50 seconds, because lights and sirens were not used during transit had gone. a follow up Study On the same topic, published in 2020, published similar results and concluded that lights and sirens reduce the response time of emergency medical services by between 1.7 and 3.6 minutes, while transport time is reduced by 0.7 to 3.8 minutes. .
