Noise pollution

This is to draw the attention of the concerned authorities to the increasing problem of noise pollution. In our country, noise control laws are openly violated. Increasing noise pollution is a big threat to the health and fitness of the people. If the noise pollution is allowed to go unchecked, it may rob the people of their hearing capacity. Noise pollution leads to different health problems, including irritation, loss of sleep, etc. Increasing number of vehicles on roads, rising growth of factories, construction work, loudspeakers used on various occasions, etc. are various factors responsible for causing noise pollution.

It is time that the authorities enforced noise control laws. The noise producing factories located in residential areas should be shifted to far off places without any delay. The use of loudspeaker should be stopped after specific time. Above all, people need to be aware of the danger of noise pollution and cooperate with the authorities to curb it. It is hoped that the authorities will take immediate action against those responsible for noise pollution to relieve the people from the harmful effects of noise pollution.
