Warning against using loud speakers without permission and at night
The district administration has warned against usage of the public address system without permission and banned cone speakers. In a statement, Collector V. P. Jeyaseelan has said that high decibel sound causes inconvenience to all living beings including humans. It includes noise pollution caused by industrial units that produce high decibel sound, vehicles and loudspeakers used during festivals. Industrial units use equipment to reduce noise pollution. However, loud speakers used during political meetings, festivals and celebrations organised by private individuals cause noise pollution that causes untold suffering to the elderly, students and patients. Hence, in order to regulate the usage of loudspeakers, it has been decided that permission must be obtained from the police to use the public address system in permitted places and at permitted timings with low decibel sound without causing hindrance to the people. Usage of loud speakers has been been prohibited between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. Police will initiate criminal action against usage of loud speakers at night, without permission and usage of banned cone speakers. The public address system will be seized and action taken under the Public Health Act and Noise Pollution (Regulation and Control) Rules, 2000, under the Environment Protection Act, 1986.
