Subject: The nuisance of insensitive use of loudspeakers.
Sir,
Through the columns of your esteemed daily newspaper, I would like to highlight the inconvenience caused by insensitive use of loudspeakers or PA Systems in my locality as well as in all our towns and cities.
Festivals are a part of our religious, and social life. The problem is not celebration of festivals, but the manner in which they are celebrated. Most of the popular festivals in India are celebrated using loudspeakers to play music 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.
They 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 sympathise the sick people as well as children and infants who need to rest and sleep properly.
The irresponsible use of loudspeakers interfere with the students who are studying for school and college exams, competitive exams for jobs or doing their daily homeworks.
Therefore, I strongly feel that the use of loudspeakers should be banned in residential areas and defaulters severely penalised.
Yours sincerely,
Prabhu Kumar
