The OC has been asked to ensure that loudspeaker is not played in the area between 10pm and 6am,” Ray said. They will also have to ensure that social and religious organisations do not play sound above 80 decibel in the prohibited area.“Traffic SP should ensure that vehicles do not use high-pressure horn near the High Court. RANCHI: The district administration has chalked out an elaborate plan to check sound pollution after the Jharkhand High Court (HC) said the existing rules on the matter should be implemented properly.The HC had on last Friday asked the district administration to prevent sound pollution after a high-decibel sound system interrupted the court’s proceedings a day before.The administration has now decided that Sadar SDO will issue an order prohibiting the use of loudspeaker and disc-jockey sound system within a radius of 500 meters from HC premises.An official release issued late night on Saturday stated that DSP Hatia and the officer-in-charge (OC) of Doranda police station will be responsible for implementing the SDO’s order. Officials will initiate action against any person violating the order,” the release added.The State Pollution Control Board has abeen asked to depute a technical expert in the HC area once a week to check the levels of noise pollution “We have decided that all police control room vehicles shall have a decibel-monitoring system, which is to be provided by the pollution control board,” said the Ranchi deputy commissioner Rai Mahimapat Ray talking to TOI.The district administration is likely to hold a meeting with the DJ Association to acquaint the latter with the relevant provisions of Noise Pollution (Regulation and Control) Rules, 2000.“The association will be told that playing music at high pitch near the High Court or any other silence zone would lead to seizure of their equipment and punitive action.
