Noise choking city streets

The blaring of loudspeakers and illegally modified silencers of motorcycles and rickshaws really make life unbearable. For residents living along main roads, this has become a curse. Children struggle to study, patients cannot rest, and ordinary people are denied even the most basic right to peace. I have tried to raise this issue more than a few times through the Chief Minister Punjab Complaint Portal, but all these complaints have yielded no tangible results. The silence of the authorities stands in sharp contrast to the deafening noise we are forced to endure daily.
