Answer:
Subject : Nuisance caused by recitation of azans on mosques and use of loudspeakers
Respected Sir,
The District Magistrate is expected to take action upon lodging of a complaint regarding noise pollution under Section 15 of ‘Environment Protection Act’ and Section 7 of ‘Noise Pollution (Regulation and Control) Rules, 2000’, which provides for punishment up to 5 years of imprisonment and a fine of Rs. 1 lakh to the offenders.
The Police are reluctant to register an offence under the above sections when citizens file complaints about azans on loudspeakers.
The nuisance of noise pollution continues since no stringent punishment is provided for offences u/s 188 of IPC or any offence registered under the Police Act. Lack of coordination between the Administration and the Police department should not be the reason for the continued menace of noise pollution. Hence, to facilitate this coordination and with the expectation that the two will get together and find a permanent solution to the issue of noise pollution, we are submitting the petition to both of you.
The aged, children, students, patients and workers (who are not able to get complete sleep at dawn), are displeased with this blatant violation of sound pollution laws.
Therefore, I/we am/are requesting you to initiate and lodge a criminal complaint against the people responsible for this noise pollution and proceed to punish them with 5 years of imprisonment and a fine of Rs. 1 lakh.
Yours faithfully,
