Bhubaneswar: A special team of the Commissionerate Police today raided several automobile shops selling modified silencers for two-wheelers.
During the raid on shops located in the Puri-Cuttack road area, police have seized 27 modified two-wheeler silencers, sources said.
Similar, raids were also conducted at several shops in Patia and Damana areas which were selling modified two-wheeler silencers.
Police have seized 51 modified silencers during the raid in these areas, sources said.
Senior officers of Saheed Nagar, Chandrasekharpur, and Infocity police stations were members of the raiding party.
It is pertinent to mention here that many riders, especially youngsters, are modifying the silencers of their bikes and creating high decibel noise, much to the discomfort of fellow motorists and people as well.
Youngsters zipping through lanes on their bikes with modified silencers not only produce noise pollution but emit a lot of smoke.
