#Noise #pollution & #social #responsibility
It is not only a legal obligation but also a social responsibility to implement the government directives banning microphones and loudspeakers after 10 pm. However, it is extremely unpopular for some artists and event organizers to question this and adopt an approach such as the whole night program should be held and the locals should not sleep.
Festivals and celebrations are meant to bring joy to the community and should not be noise torture that tortures the sick, the elderly and children. If the program starts at 7 pm, it can be concluded at 10 pm with dignity. Not being ready for that is not freedom of art, but violation of the law and social arrogance. There are situations where even ceremonies in places of worship can be held after 10 pm without microphones. Even then, there are groups who rob people of their sleep by organizing Chenda Mela and Vadya celebrations. Such noise chaos cannot be justified in any way.
No community has the right to water down the law against noise pollution. Be it Onam celebrations, festivals, political or cultural events, keeping the mic off after 10 pm is not a matter of discussion, it is a necessity. The police should come forward to strictly enforce this law. Exemplary action should be taken against those who violate the law. Only when the noise level is reduced can the public get peace, the patients get relief, and the children get healthy sleep.
When there are so many ways to celebrate without a mic, why do some people make high decibel noise and rob the peace of ordinary people? This is not culture, it is cruelty, and society should react strongly against this.
