The commissioner also directed the traffic cops to check ambulances, which have been reported to be using sirens even when they are not carrying patients or carrying fake patients. The use of sirens in such cases creates a disturbance in traffic flow and could cause accidents.

Responding to a tweet that highlighted the illegal use of sirens by a vehicle on April 23 from Tolichowki to Rethibowli, the commissioner agreed that the illegal use of sirens by all and sundry is creating a lot of traffic issues and disturbing the maintenance of traffic flow. He urged the public to keep reporting vehicles that are illegally using sirens and provide proof of such incidents.
