The Governor of Manipur has issued an order stating that the sirens used in ambulance vehicles and other agencies should not resemble those used by police and law enforcement agencies, in terms of type and sound. 

The directive is intended to prevent any confusion that may arise due to the similarity of sirens between different agencies.

The order states- "Keeping in view of the prevailing law and order situation of the State and for effective maintenance of law and order situation in the State, the State Government views the matter regarding the issues arising out of the use of sirens with similar sounds being used by Ambulance and Police & Law enforcing agencies, thereby creating lots of confusion and panicky situation to the general public.
