Council of Scientific and Industrial Research-National Environmental Engineering Research Institute (CSIR-NEERI), Nagpur will measure the noise pollution during the Garba celebrations.
NEERI has been directed to measure the noise level created in the Ramdaspeth area, following a petition by local residents. The petitioners alleged that noise pollution is created with proper permission and noise beyond the permissible limits is played.
The Nagpur Bench of Bombay High Court heard the petition on Friday and directed the police authorities to take proper action without hurting the religious feelings of the people involved in the celebrations.
The Ramdaspeth Residents Association presented reports of two different agencies, which are different and both are not ready to accept the reports of the other agency. The High Court then directed NEERI to monitor the sound level on the last day of the celebrations and submit its report.
The High Court heard the petition on Sunday as even after Friday’s decision the petitioner said that the directions were being violated by the organisers of Garba.
