Like every year, this time too, big religious events like Shardiya Navratri and Ramlila have been celebrated in the capital Delhi. Tableau, Durga Puja Pandal and Ramlila stage have been decorated in every corner of the city. In such a situation, the biggest concern of the people organizing was that due to the ban of closing loudspeakers after 10 o’clock in the night, the programs remain incomplete or have to stop in the middle. But this time the Delhi government has taken a big decision, which will give a lot of relief to the organizers.
The Delhi government has extended the deadline for playing loudspeakers in Ramlila, Durga Puja, Dussehra and other cultural or religious programs from 10 am to 12 noon. However, this discount is not forever. This permission will remain valid only from September 22 to October 3, that is, loudspeakers can be played from 12 noon during this schedule. In such a situation, let us know what is its limit in which state besides Delhi.
What is the new rule?
Loudspeakers in Delhi will now be able to play till 12 pm. This exemption is given only during festivals i.e. there is no permanent rule. At the same time, the level of sound in residential areas should not be more than 45 decibels (DB). Apart from this, the organizers will have to get all the necessary permission from the single window system. Along with this, it will be necessary to finish the program on time.
Loudspeakers and sound control rules fall under noise pollution (Control and Act), 2000, which has been implemented under the Environment Act, 1986. Permission from the administration is necessary to play loudspeakers. There is a ban on playing loudspeakers from 10 am to 6 am. On any special occasion, the state government can give a maximum of 15 days discount in a year.
What is its limit in which state?
Delhi is not the only state which is making changes in this subject. Discussion on this subject is also intensified in other states. Uttar Pradesh and Karnataka have strictly implemented the rules. There are orders to close loudspeakers completely after 10 pm. In Maharashtra also, under the guidelines of the Supreme Court, strictness has been done to play loudspeakers at religious places. The maximum sound limit at night is 45 decibels and 55 decibels a day. Instructions have been given to remove loudspeakers without permission.
