Syeda Rizwana Hasan, adviser to the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, has called for an immediate end to unnecessary horn use in Bangladesh. Speaking on Sunday, January 25, 2026, at a gathering in front of Terminal 2 of Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport, she said the excessive horn noise near the airport embarrasses the country before foreign visitors. She urged the Civil Aviation Authority to take steps to stop horn use in the airport area.
The event marked the launch of a coordinated campaign to implement a 'silent zone' around the airport, jointly organized by the Department of Environment, Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP), Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC), Bangladesh Road Transport Authority (BRTA), and the Civil Aviation Authority. Rizwana Hasan noted that under the Noise Pollution (Control) Rules 2025, traffic police now have the authority to impose instant fines. She also sought media cooperation in raising awareness.
Following the discussion, executive magistrates and prosecutors from the five agencies conducted mobile courts at five designated points in the airport area, with over a hundred DMP officers present. Officials said the integrated anti-noise campaign will continue.
