Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said, red beacon symbols are out of touch with the spirit of new India as every Indian is special and a VIP. Replying to tweets over the government's decision to bar the use of red beacons atop vehicles, Mr Modi said, these should have gone long ago. The Prime Minister said, he is glad that a strong beginning has been made.
The cabinet had yesterday banned Ministers and officials in the Central and state government from using red beacons on their official vehicles from the 1st of next month.
The decision was taken in a Cabinet meeting chaired my Mr Modi in New Delhi.
Finance Minister Arun Jaitley told reporters that the government views red beacons as a symbol of the VIP culture which has no place in a democratic country.
Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari informed that the notification in this regard will be issued soon.
