Dear Sir,
Sub: Complaining about noise pollution
On behalf of the people of Anna Nagar, I would like to bring to light, the nuisance caused by jarring sounds. I request that the letter may be published in your daily for finding remedial action at the earliest.
Noise Pollution - a threat
I wish to draw your attention to the noise pollution experienced by the people of our locality. The people are often irritated by the jarring loudspeakers all the time from the different marriage halls and the theatres. The marriage halls are busy not only during the marriage seasons, but also on some other occasions. As all the social, cultural and political meetings are conducted there with the use of loud speakers, the school children, the patients the aged and the public cannot have a sound sleep.
The School children are easily directed by the loud speakers from the nearby theatres. Such loud speakers may affect the general cause of the students immensely. We are very much afraid to note that such noise may affect the hearing capacity of the common mass. Our representation to the concerned authorities in vain. May I draw the attention of the concerned authorities to take necessary steps at once so as to make the students concentrate more on their studies.
The student community would thank the authorities profusely, if necessary steps are taken at the earliest.
Thank you,
Yours faithfully,
S. Dharanija.

Subject: Complaint on the nuisance caused by loudspeakers
Sir,
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.
The practice of using loudspeakers by religious organisations in residential areas is public disturbance and a major cause of noice pollution. Noise pollution is known to cause headache, irritation, and other health problems. We must also 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.
People need to be aware that our freedom must not become a serious problem to other people. I strongly feel that the use of loudspeakers should be banned in residential areas and defaulters severely penalised.
Yours sincerely,
Vinod Ahuja
