Uttarakhand sets limit for loudspeakers in the state
The Uttarakhand High Court has ordered the state government to set the limit of loudspeakers at 5 dB(A). The court also disallowed any person or organisation, including religious bodies, from using loudspeakers without written permission and submitting an undertaking that the noise level wouldn't exceed 5 dB(A). The court was hearing a PIL against a toy factory in Haridwar district.
