Fed Up with Noise, Baramati Police Smash Bullet Silencers—Locals Breathe a Sigh of Relief
Baramati Police smashed 58 illegal silencers for Bullet motorcycles and fined noisy motorists, suppressing public nuisance. The public hailed the bold step as a victory for peace and road discipline.
Pune, May 06, 2025: In a decisive crackdown against rising noise pollution caused by modified Bullet motorcycles, Baramati Traffic Police have launched an aggressive campaign that left many reckless bikers stunned — and silenced. Under the leadership of Police Inspector Chandrashekhar Yadav, silencers of 58 Bullet motorcycles were removed on the spot and bulldozed, sending a strong message that blaring engines and public nuisance won’t be tolerated any longer.
This no-nonsense drive follows repeated public complaints and police warnings, which had largely gone ignored by a section of bike riders who take pride in the thunderous, modified exhaust sounds of their Royal Enfield Bullets. With the lawbreaking continuing unabated, the police chose to enforce the Motor Vehicles Act under Section 198 and took direct action.
Last year, 56 such operations were conducted. But since the start of 2025, authorities have ramped up their efforts — already taking action against 58 more violators. In total, 111 noisy bikers have now faced legal consequences, including hefty fines amounting to lakhs of rupees and public destruction of illegal silencers.
More Than Just a Fine — It’s a Wake-Up Call
In a city that values its peace and discipline, this campaign isn’t just about enforcing traffic laws — it’s about restoring the dignity of public spaces. “We aren’t against bikers. But causing disruption for thrill or status can’t come at the cost of public health or sanity,” shared one resident from the city center, where loud bikes are often a daily headache.
Many citizens have taken to social media to express their relief and praise the police for finally doing what was long overdue. “Every time a Bullet passed by with that unbearable sound, my baby would cry and wake up. Today, justice is served,” one grateful mother posted on a local Facebook group.
Police Inspector Chandrashekhar Yadav emphasized that the aim is not punishment, but discipline. “We tried educating riders, we gave warnings, but if some still choose to ignore the law, we have to step in more firmly. Noise pollution is not just a minor traffic offense.”
A Message Heard Loud and Clear
The visual of bulldozers crushing dozens of illegal silencers isn’t just symbolic — it’s transformational. It represents a shift in Baramati’s public order narrative: law-abiding citizens deserve quiet, safe roads, and action will follow when rules are flouted.
This move has also reignited discussions about the role of responsible vehicle ownership, civic sense, and the balance between personal style and public decency.
