write a letter to the editor of the newspaper for the noise pollution caused by kirtan or holy noise.
Answers
I am forced to wake up daily at 5 a.m. by the loudspeakers blaring Azan. The mosque is nearly a km away yet sounds travel easily esp. at 5 a.m. when most of the city is asleep. Again during the day I am disturbed by Azaan. I wonder how students study! And am grateful to Ishwar that I finished studying for my Chartered Accountancy exams before this problem started.
During Diwali a number of Mumbaikars come to Worli Seaface and burn crackers leaving behind a sea of smoke. My mother has bronchitis so I shut all the windows scared that the smoke might result in an attack. The sound is deafening at times. Early morning walkers find the Seaface littered with dirt the next day. While everyone is entitled to spend his or her money the way they want, burning of crackers at such a large scale is a waste of national resources. Even if 50% of the money spent on crackers were used to start schools and hospitals I am sure that we would have atleast 3,000 more schools every year.
Therefore, I was very happy to know of the Supreme Court judgment on noise pollution. I only hope it is implemented!
Summary - Why was the issue of Noise Pollution raised with the Supreme Court?
(i) noise created by horns of engines, pressure horns in automobiles, loudspeakers, denting painting of cars, particularly, in residential areas and from unauthorized premises being prohibited;
(ii) use of loudspeakers in religious places such as temples, mosque, churches, gurudwaras and other places being discontinued or at least regulated;
(iii) firecrackers burst during Diwali festival and on other occasions for fun or merry making being prohibited completely, if the noise created exceeds certain decibels and being so regulated as to prevent bursting during night hours.
I also hope that our Politicians do not invoke Secularism to prevent mosques from reducing the decibel level of loudspeakers installed therein.
