Silchar town has been an attraction for religious ceremonies like ‘Kirtans’, ‘Bhajans’ and other social functions. Almost in every ceremony devotes use microphones which creates a loud noise and disturbs the neighborhood including students and patients. More people are complaining about the noise coming from these types of programs. These sounds or noises are disturbing, disrupting, ongoing activities and peaceful interludes.
This indiscriminate use of microphones by individuals and organizations across the town without seeking due permission under definite provision of law creates criticism from citizens who are being disturbed. The district magistrate of Cachar Harendra Kumar Dev Mohanta has imposed certain restrictions in the relevant Act of 1960 and noise pollution rule of 2000.
The prohibitory order makes it mandatory for individual or organization to have prior permission from the district magistrate before making use of microphone or loud speaker. It has been further pointed out that even if valid permission is taken, loud speaker cannot be used after 10:00pm till the next morning of 6:00am.
It has been cautioned that if anybody or any organization violates these provisions, drastic action would be taken against them. All the officers in charge of police stations have been asked to ensure enforcement of the prohibitory order.
