The state government viewed the matter regarding the issues arising out of the use of sirens with similar sounds being used by ambulance and police & law enforcing agencies, creating lots of confusion and panicky situations for the general public.
Considering the sensitive nature of the use of the same sirens by different authorities and to avoid any kind of likely misunderstanding that may occur amongst the general public, all sirens fitted in ambulance vehicles and any agencies other than the police and law enforcing agencies should not be similar to those used by the police and law enforcing agencies in terms of type and sound, the order stated.
