Assam: Bongaigaon police takes action against bikers for modifying motorcycle silencers

The Bongaigaon district police have warned motorcycle owners to not use modified silencers or ready-to-face action.

Notably, youngsters are seen tampering with bikes and bullet parts to emit a gunshot-like cracking sound.

Further, police have warned of such modification and stated that those who pollute the roads will be dealt with stern actions and challans are now being imposed on drivers.

As per the instructions of Assam Police DGP Bhaskar Jyoti Mahanta, the police are now conducting a campaign against people who convert and pollute noise through bikes across the state which often causes panic to commuters as well as residents as they misconstrue the cracking sound as firing sound.
