The Indian actor and director Prabhudeva has recommended the short film 'Tranquility' made by 6 youngsters from Nagaland and Mizoram. In Aizawl, the capital of Mizoram, people have adopted a No-Honking policy without any legislation or official sanction. Watch Tranquility.
The decibel level of a car horn is 110 dB on average. And this is bad news because anything louder than 60-70 dB can cause gradual hearing loss, also increase the risk of heart disease and stroke. While Mizoram is one of the quietest places in India, the noisiest cities – according to 2013 report – are Mumbai, Hyderabad, New Delhi and Chennai.
