Summary:
more-inMumbai: The Bombay High Court on Friday upheld the ban on the use of DJs and Dolby sound systems during Ganapati visarjan and Navaratri. Back in action: Traditional drummers are in good demand in view of the ban on the use of DJs and Dolby sound systems during Ganapati immersion. Kotwal was hearing a petition filed by Professional Audio and Lighting Association, which has 1,400 members who are owners of sound and light rental agencies, and employees who are associated with sound systems. They have challenged a circular issued by the Home Ministry and the directions issued by the police, which state that DJ is a source of sound pollution. Advocate General Ashutosh Kumbhakoni defended the ban, and said even if a DJ system is kept at the minimum, the sound is much higher than the permissible limits..
