Law Enforcement Agencies in Thimphu Combat Noise Pollution with Innovative Technology

Thimphu, Bhutan - In a bid to combat the growing menace of noise pollution caused by modified silencers in cars and bikes, law enforcement agencies in Thimphu have turned to advanced noise-detecting technology. These agencies have taken a proactive stance against the loud and aggressive sounds emitted by these vehicles, which disrupt neighborhood tranquility, sleep patterns, and pose potential health risks.

Over the past three years, the traffic division in Thimphu has taken stringent action against more than 100 modified motorcycles. To discourage repeat offenders, they have implemented a practice of seizing the modification silencer pipes. This measure aims to send a clear message to those considering outfitting their bikes or cars with illegal modifications that their actions will not be tolerated.

Recognizing the need for a comprehensive approach, the Bhutan Construction and Transport Authority has recently acquired 28 state-of-the-art noise detection devices. These devices will be distributed across the country to aid law enforcement agencies in identifying vehicles that exceed acceptable noise limits.

The recent initiative aligns with Sections 65 and 66 of the Road Safety & Transport Regulations 2021, which require registered vehicle owners to obtain prior approval for any alterations or modifications to their motor vehicles. By strictly enforcing these regulations, authorities aim to curb the prevalence of modified silencers that disturb the peace and well-being of local communities.
