Sub: Noise pollution caused by excessive noise.

Sir

I beg to draw your kind attention to the fact that along with air and water pollution, our cities are also under the attack of noise pollution. Marriage, DJ’s during wedding receptions, loud music from neighbourhood flats, etc. are all sources of noise. Nobody seems to realize that noisy activities are not only stressful but against the norms of civic behaviour.

High levels of noise may cause dull hearing and ringing in the ears. Regular high-level noise exposures lead to loss of hearing and other adverse health effects.

Noise is very harmful for the old and the ailing who are in need of peace and quiet. Excessive noise also distracts the students, especially during examination days. Recently I had to take my pre-board class 12 examinations. I had an immense problem concentrating at night because our neighbours had organized a jagrata’ lasting the entire night. Every year a prohibitory order is issued for banning the use of loudspeakers at late night but the question is who will enforce it?

I request you to ban the use of loudspeakers totally during the months of February and March or at the peak time of examination so that the students can prepare well for their examination. I also wish that the law may be enforced strictly during this period. Lastly, people need to be sensitized to the harms of noise pollution.

I request you to publish this letter in your prestigious daily so that the concerned authorities will take note of the distressing rise in noise pollution.

Thank you

Yours sincerely

Karan
