Indore traffic police used a road roller to destroy more than 1,500 prohibited modified silencers, estimating their total value at around ₹75 lakh, and are now gearing up to act against the sellers.
Indore traffic police carried out a large‑scale operation in which a road roller was employed to crush over 1,500 modified silencers that are banned under Indian traffic regulations. The seized silencers, which are known for producing excessively loud noise, were deemed illegal and unsafe for public roads.
Authorities assessed the market value of the confiscated items at roughly ₹75 lakh. The figure reflects the combined worth of the silencers before they were destroyed, highlighting the scale of the illicit trade in the city.
Following the demolition, police officials announced that they will pursue legal action against the manufacturers and vendors who supplied the prohibited devices. The move is part of a broader effort to curb noise pollution and enforce traffic safety standards in Madhya Pradesh.
The operation was reported by local media, including Amar Ujala, and underscores the vigilance of Indore’s law‑enforcement agencies in tackling violations that affect both public health and road safety.
