Will netas fall in line without red beacons; Sonu Nigam takes on Maulvi

The cabinet today decided to bar officials, from both Centre and state, from using red beacons atop their vehicles. The decision was announced by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley at a press conference.

 

The move, which was welcomed by some politicians, will stop the VVIP culture that has been plaguing India for a long time.

 

The vehicles with beacon lights, which are seen as a symbol of VIP culture, have no place in a democratic country, the government said.
