Around 120 students of classes VII and VIII participated in a no-horn campaign at Notre Dame Academy on Friday.
"The campaign is aimed at stopping unnecessary honking on the roads, especially outside schools," said Alvia Aslam, the co-ordinator of Students' Oxygen Movement, which organised the campaign.
"People will not listen to us but they will definitely listen to children," she added.
The campaign is organised every year since 2011.
"It really disturbs us while we are studying. People honk unnecessarily and we must take action," said Adila, a student of Class VII.
