Sound pollution is increasing at an alarming rate. Though courts have restricted the use of loudspeakers, the authorities concerned are not paying any heed to the menace. I am a resident of Maraikulam in Alappuzha district of Kerala. Throwing norms to the wind, there is an excessive use of public address system in places of worship and by political outfits. But, it seems, that nobody is bothered. There is also rampant use of high-decibel fireworks. Imagine the plight of aged and ailing people who have to bear the blaring speakers day and night. I request the authorities to take immediate action to stop excessive sound pollution.
