Actor
Hrithik Roshan, who enjoyed a mind-blowing 2019 with two hit films, recently took to his social media and wrote a heartfelt note on the issue that affects one and all. The actor came across the video while surfing the net and as a responsible citizen, spread the word about the recent steps that
Mumbai Police has undertaken to reduce the incessant honking. He penned down a long note and this truly explains that he feels for the initiative.
The video states how Mumbai Police has come up with an insightful strategy to reduce the honking - a traffic light system that resets to the red light on the sound of car horns, if it reached 85 dB threshold hence, the initiative- #HonkMoreWaitMore.
Taking to his social media, an excerpt from his post read, "There is a cultural deficit in our programming when it comes to mindless honking. It probably is caused by a combination of certain wrong beliefs.We assume that the other people in traffic are not as much in a hurry as us. Which is certainly incorrect. We all want to get to where we are going sooner rather than later. So why do we we honk? Not needed.We believe that honking will magically make the traffic move faster or turn the red light green sooner somehow. It will not.”
“P.S: I am posting this as a citizen who was impacted by this video I saw yesterday and this post is not a tie-up or endorsement... but my own personal thoughts and emotions.”
The video ends with a message "feel free to honk if you don't mind waiting" and that is what the video highlights.
