Subject : Time to become aware of the hazards of noise pollution
Dear Sir,
Through the esteemed columns of your prestigious newspaper, I, a resident of New Delhi, want to bring forth the issue of increasing noise pollution to the notice of the general public and concerned authorities. In the metro cities, there has been a tremendous increase in the levels of noise pollution. It's not only the shrieking horns and roars of vehicles but also marriage processions, loud DJ's, aircrafts and machines in industrial areas which cause a lot of noise pollution.
The consequences are extremely hazardous. They lead to increasing cases of deafness, insomnia, palpitation of heart, mental fatigue, etc. Among the sufferers are the small babies and old people who can't sleep properly, there are patients who can't take rest and students who can't study. Then, there are 'Jagrans' that force the public to keep awake the whole night. The problem further adds to the fact that noise control laws are neither followed properly nor implemented completely. The culprits bribe the police and other officials and get away easily.
Hope the concerned authorities will take initiative in this regard and relieve us from the menace of noise pollution.
Yours Truly,
Karuna/Karan
