DJs Face Legal Action Over Loud Ganesha Fest Noise
16 Sep
Summary
- Six criminal cases filed against DJ sound system operators.
- Violations cited for exceeding prescribed noise limits during Ganesha festival.
- Cases booked under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and Karnataka Police Act.
In Hubballi-Dharwad, authorities have taken legal action by registering six criminal cases against DJ sound system operators and owners. These cases stem from alleged violations of prescribed noise limits during the Ganesha festival processions held on September 14. Despite repeated warnings and notices issued to Ganesh mandals and DJ operators regarding permissible sound levels, some processions reportedly employed high-decibel DJ and Dolby sound systems.
These excessive noise levels caused significant inconvenience to the public, particularly senior citizens and hospital patients. The legal actions were initiated under specific sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Karnataka Police Act. Police have emphasized the importance of adhering to noise regulations and avoiding sound systems that exceed permitted decibel limits for future celebrations.
