Subject: Improper Use of Loudspeakers

Dear sir/Madam,

Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I wish to draw the attention of the public and the authorities concerned to the noise pollution caused by the improper use of loudspeakers. I hope you will surely provide some space to my views.

The loudspeaker is one of the gifts given to us by science. These are used to magnify the sound so that it reaches human ears at some comfortable pitch.

But, we all are well aware of how this wonderful gift of science is being misused everywhere in our country.

The morning begins not with the chirping of birds, the crowing of a cock, but it begins with the blaring sound of the loudspeakers installed at the top of the buildings of worshipping places. In cities, it may be less in practice, but in villages, there is a lot of noise pollution. During the day also, we find much misuse of loudspeakers. At night, if there is a religious function, a marriage, and a reception party in some locality, then, no one can sleep there properly till midnight.

No one cares for the students who are to study. No one cares for the children, the old men and women, and the patients who are to take rest and sleep. There is a law for curbing the menace created by the improper use of loudspeakers. But nobody bothers about it.

I hope the points raised here are relevant in this context and these would certainly stir the sleeping conscience of the public in general and the authorities concerned.

Regards,

Mukesh Ahluwalia
