NON-COMPLIANCE | Govt admits significant challenges in achieving full compliance of HC orders on loudspeakers at religious places
Nearly nine years after the Bombay High Court issued stringent directions to curb noise pollution, the Maharashtra government has acknowledged that, while some progress has been made, enforcement against illegal loudspeakers remains patchy and requires continuous monitoring.
Affidavits were submitted by the Home Department and Director General of Police (DGP) Rashmi Shukla in response to a contempt petition filed by activist Santosh Pachalag. The petition alleged non-compliance with the court's 2016 directives regarding the illegal installation of loudspeakers at religious places. Pachalag had earlier filed a PIL in 2014, seeking the removal of loudspeakers that were allegedly installed illegally at certain mosques in Navi Mumbai.
