Diljit’s concert in Chandigarh breached noise limit set by HC

Despite clear directions from the Punjab and Haryana high court, noise levels during the December 14 concert of Punjabi singer Diljit Dosanjh in Sector 34 exceeded permissible limits, as reported by the Chandigarh Pollution Control Committee. Chandigarh Pollution Control Committee in its report stated that noise levels during singer Diljit Dosanjh’s event ranged from 70 to 80 decibels, violating the Noise Pollution Rules, 2000. In its report submitted to the Chandigarh deputy commissioner on Monday, the CPCC found that noise levels during the event ranged from 70 to 80 decibels, violating the Noise Pollution Rules, 2000. While hearing another petition on noise pollution on November 14, the court had also directed that police must register an FIR in case of noise pollution violations, and emphasised that district magistrates and superintendents of police in Punjab, Haryana and Chandigarh should remain vigilant and take swift legal action in response to citizen complaints.
