Sir,

I would like to draw the attention of the Department concerned and officials regarding the violation of the rule that bans use of loud intensity crackers and loudspeaker after 10 pm near my residence at Maruti Circle, N.R. Mohalla.

There is rampant use of loudspeaker and sometimes crackers of loud intensity after the stipulated deadline of 10 pm and sometimes even at 12 am and 1 am! This obviously is causing sleepless nights especially to the students and the elderly.

I wonder if these people, who organise the ‘programmes’ regularly on Saturdays and Sundays, take the required permission from the authorities concerned?

Whatever be the reason, I urge the officials concerned and the Police Department to put an end to this agony of residents by maintaining a strict vigil and take necessary action against such elements.
