Ziro to Host Modified Silencers Surrender Event on ZRE MC’s 9th Foundation Day

Ziro, September 30, 2025:
In an effort to curb noise pollution and promote responsible riding culture, the Ziro Royal Enfielders Motorcycle Club (ZRE MC), in collaboration with the District Administration of Lower Subansiri, will organize a Modified Silencers Surrender Event on October 3, 2025, at 11:00 AM. The event will be held at the District Secretariat Office, Hapoli, coinciding with the 9th Foundation Day celebration of the club.

According to a circular issued by Deputy Commissioner Oli Perme (APCS, AG), the surrendered silencers will be destroyed on the spot using heavy machinery provided by the Public Works Department. The Superintendent of Police has been directed to oversee traffic management, while the District Information and Public Relations Office (DIPRO) will handle media coverage of the program.

The initiative, first of its kind in the district, reflects a growing concern over the nuisance created by illegally modified motorcycle silencers, which have been a long-standing grievance among residents. By formally surrendering and destroying these silencers, the administration hopes to send a strong message to riders and the community at large.

“This is not just about law enforcement; it is about respect for public peace and the environment,” said a senior official, emphasizing the administration’s zero-tolerance approach towards noise pollution.

The program is expected to draw participation from local riders, law enforcement agencies, and community leaders. ZRE MC, led by its chief Shri Nending Ommo, has extended support to ensure the success of the campaign, making it a landmark step in promoting a more disciplined riding culture in Ziro.

The organization stressed that such actions, especially by individuals in positions of power, undermine the democratic spirit enshrined in the Constitution.

Invoking Article 19, which guarantees the fundamental right to freedom of speech and expression, ApDirect India stated that the provision must be understood not only in words but in its true spirit. The organization further urged Advocate Pura Dollo to revisit and brush up his wisdom on the essence of Article 19.
