In an effort to reduce sound pollution in the Kathmandu Valley, the government is preparing to impose a ban on vehicle horns, which will come into effect on the day of the Nepali New Year 2074 Baisakh (April 14, 2017) in Kathmandu Metropolitan City. “From April 14 onward, horns will be banned for public, government, tourist and private vehicles plying in Kathmandu Valley,” Gyanendra Karki, KMC spokesperson said, adding that the main aim of the ban was to minimise sound pollution. “People of Kathmandu are fed up with high levels of unnecessary honking by drivers. We hope that there will be no horn sounds in ‘no horn’ areas and sound pollution will come down in the coming days,” Karki said.
