Bangla cracks down on honkers
2009-09-08
[Bangla Daily Star] A mobile court yesterday penalised motor vehicle owners with fines in the city's Agargaon area for using horns beyond permissible sound limit, emitting black smokes and possessing fake documents.
Fred, go to your room.
Department of Environment (DoE) along with Bangladesh Road Transport Authority (BRTA) and traffic police conducted the drive led by Executive Magistrate Sharifa Ahmed.

The court penalised 21 vehicles, including buses, lorries, covered vans and cars and realised Tk 28,800 in fine under the Motor Vehicle Ordinance, 1983 and the Environment Conservation Act, 1995 and other relevant rules.

Eight of the vehicles have been fined for noise pollution while four for emitting black smokes, said DoE Deputy Director Sukumar Biswas.

True, Eric, and a quandary. The combination of verbal and visual puns is the kind of thing that sends people fleeing out the nearest exit, and today is his birthday. What is one to say in such a situation?
