Samba Police in its drive against traffic rule violators has seized a number of bikes including motorcycles fitted with modified silencers across the district Samba.
The action against the two-wheelers fitted with modified silencers was taken by Samba Police after numerous complaints pouring from the public about the nuisance these bikes (Bullets) were creating in the area. Unauthorized modification to the vehicle silencers is illegal under the Motor Vehicles Act. Such alterations not only contribute to noise pollution but can also reduce the efficiency of the bike and pose safety risks.
Besides this, bikes were also seized by the police under the relevant sections of Motor Vehicle Act for violating other traffic rules.
SSP Samba warned that strict action will be taken against those possessing bikes with modified silencers and asserted that such drive will continue in future also.
