Zainapora DM Bans Loudspeakers for Moving Vendors

Kashmir Observer

|

NOVEMBER 22, 2025 ISSUE

Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) Zainapora, Bilal Ahmad has issued a stringent public order banning the use of mikes and megaphones on moving vehicles across the subdivision.

- Observer News Service

The move comes in response to a rising number of complaints about noise pollution caused by vendors using loudspeakers while selling fruits and other consumables.

Officials informed KNO that the administration had been flooded with complaints from residents during public outreach programmes, including the recent Block Diwas held on November 19, where locals highlighted the "unbearable disturbance" caused by frequent loud announcements by mobile vendors.

Invoking Section 152 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023, the SDM directed that no vendor shall henceforth use loudspeakers or megaphones while moving through streets, lanes, or market areas within SubDivision Zainapora.
