Dignitaries in Barishal, including senior leaders for local units of three major political parties, have echoed raising social movement against hydraulic horns to protect people from health hazards.
Speakers urged the authorities to address the issue of noise pollution and safety hazards caused by the use of hydraulic horns during a rally at the Euro Convetion Centre in Barishal on Saturday, according to a press release.
With support from the USAID-funded SPL project, the Mult-Party Advocacy Forum (MAF) organised the campaign in association with Democracy International Bangladesh.
Awami League district unit General Secretary Talukder Md Yunus, BNP District (South) unit Member Secretary Abul Kalam Shaheen, and Jatiya Party district unit convener Murtaza Abedin extended their support to the advocacy campaign.
This event aimed to bring attention to the detrimental effects of hydraulic horns, which contribute significantly to noise pollution and pose safety risks to the public.
By discouraging the sale and use of these horns, the initiative seeks to create a quieter and safer environment for all residents of Barishal City, it said. —UNB
