The insensitive use of loudspeakers has become a quite irritant in our country. The most vexatious thing is that loudspeakers have now become a fundamental part of almost every celebration.
Noise pollution is already one of the greatest problems citizens deal with. The excessive use of loudspeakers makes it even worse. There are some occasions where loudspeakers are necessary but not everywhere are they that important.
Those who are worst hit by blaring of loudspeakers are the elderly and the children. Due to excessive noise, the elderly can’t sleep properly and the children can’t concentrate on studies. It is high time the authorities must take proper action and do something to regulate the use of loudspeakers.
