HC unhappy over festive season noise pollution
The Chhattisgarh High Court took suo motu cognisance of media reports regarding the use of high-decibel music amplifiers and DJs during the ongoing festive season. Expressing deep concern over the harassment faced by people, a division bench observed that the directives of the Supreme Court to prevent and regulate noise pollution appeared to have been totally ignored with the state agencies failing in their duty to stick to rules. The court emphasised that any negligence would amount to contempt, directing the chief secretary to submit an affidavit summarising the measures taken by the state.

Besides the CM, all ministers, MLAs, party leaders and cadres will attend it in their respective constituencies.
