Subject: The nuisance of insensitive use of loudspeakers.
Sir,
Through the columns of your esteemed daily newspaper, I would like to express my displeasure on the insensitive use of loudspeakers (PA Systems) in our towns and cities.
Festivals are a time of joy everyone look forward to each year. Festivals are a part of our personal, religious, and social life. The problem is not celebration of festivals, but the manner in which they are celebrated. Most of the important festivals are celebrated using loudspeakers at high volume throughout the day and all night long. There are many restaurants, cafes and night clubs where loud music is played late into the night in the name of birthday celebrations and parties.
These are all public disturbance and a major cause of noice pollution. Noise pollution is known to cause headache, irritation, and other health problems. We must have consideration for the sick people as well as children and infants who need to rest and sleep properly.
They disturb the sleep of the public. It interfere with the students studying for exams or doing their homeworks. The irresponsible use of loudspeakers will adversely affect their performance in exams and their future career.
The Supreme Court has banned the unauthorised use of loudspeakers. Therefore, I feel that the use of loudspeakers and loud music should be strictly checked in residential areas and defaulters severely penalised.
Yours sincerely,
Rishiraj
