It seems VIP culture is going to end in India.
Yes, after reading this, you too feel the same.
The red beacons on vehicles of politicians and government officials will not be there from next month onwards even for President, Prime Minister and Chief Justice of India vehicles too. Only emergency vehicles like ambulances, fire engines and police vans will be allowed to have a blue beacon.
You know, Prime Minister Modi went to Delhi airport to receive Bangladesh PM Sheikh Hasina in "normal traffic" earlier this month and no traffic routes were blocked along this route.
Supporting government's decision, Twitteratis welcomed this move.
Fully support the #ModiGovt's decision to abolish Lal Batti. As a true believer of #EveryoneVIPinNewIndia never used Lal Batti as a minister

Ministers standing in queues, traveling in trains & in economy class. Now no red beacons. End of VIP culture #EveryoneVIPinNewIndia

A good decision. Next step must not provide any beacon vehicle (police) for escort to VIPs. Let them pass like other commuters. #RedBeacon https://t.co/ZNd6AsWhXa

For past 70 yrs, red beacons created a perception of inferiority amongst citizens n superiority amongst politicians. #EveryoneVIPinNewIndia

Govt bans red beacons on all VIP vehicles. Please ban Rail/Air travel freebies as well and No pension for MPs/MLAs. #EveryoneVIPinNewIndia

Some government officials even posted their car images after removing red beacons on their vehicles.
And with that we have proven that #EveryoneVIPinNewIndia. A welcome step by PM Shri @narendramodi ji. #RedBeacon pic.twitter.com/0dI7FoMJkV
