FIRs Lodged Against Illegal Loudspeakers, Using Social Media To Publicize Ads Addressing Noise Pollution: Maharashtra DGP To Bombay HC

The Bombay High Court is addressing the issue of noise pollution caused by illegal loudspeakers and has directed the Director General of Police (DGP) and the Home Department to file an affidavit in the matter. This indicates the court's serious concern about the widespread use of unauthorized loudspeakers and the resulting noise pollution, which affects public health and peace. By seeking an affidavit from high-ranking officials like the DGP and representatives from the Home Department, the High Court is holding the state authorities accountable for taking effective measures to control noise pollution and enforce regulations regarding the use of loudspeakers. The affidavit is likely to detail the steps taken or proposed to be taken to address this issue.
