Beacons  

As a man who has influenced the youth, time and again Dr. Kalam has shared his wisdom and mantras of life that have acted as beacons of knowledge and guidance time and again. Listed below are some of his most powerful quotes

The Centre has allowed emergency vehicles on duty for maintaining law and order, including those of the police, defence and paramilitary forces, to use multi-coloured beacon lights having red, blue and white colours.

High-profile bureaucrats are looking for excuses to re-instate their beacons saying that if the beacons are removed, the escorts would not know whom to follow since the VIP cars will mingle with the VIP car in traffic.

Chief Minister Siddaramaiah was lost for words when he found the red beacon missing from his official car. In fact, he saw this when the reporters queried him over the ban on red beacons on all ministers' vehicles.

The Chief Minister and the other ministers would also have the beacons removed from their cars soon.
