The court ordered the police to destroy the hydraulic horns turned in by vehicle owners, said petitioner's counsel Manzill Murshid. During the previous hearing, the court told police to file an update, which was heard on Sunday. The HRPB petition cited the rampant use of hydraulic horns despite a ban in place in line with the Motor Vehicle Ordinance, and sought an order to confiscate the devices. Hydraulic horns create a much louder sound than the usual electric horns. In the last one year, police have confiscated 10,000 hydraulic horns, according to Commissioner Miah.
