The inconsiderate use of loudspeakers has become a massive nuisance in our cities. The most provoking point is that loud speakers have been adopted in almost all celebrations. This endless problem has reached a point where occasions such as marriage ceremonies and birthday parties are quite incomplete without loudspeakers. Keeping in mind that noise pollution is already a recognised problem, people in the cities have to deal with headaches. The worst affected by the improper use of loudspeakers are elderly and children. Due to the un-moderated noise, the sleep of patients and the elderly is disturbed, while schoolchildren and college students cannot concentrate on their studies.
It is high time the government and local authorities take serious action to regulate the use of loudspeakers.
