CHANDIGARH: Chandigarh SSP stated in an affidavit filed in Punjab and Haryana High Court that it is not Chandigarh but the surrounding areas that are causing noise pollution after 10 pm.

The affidavit said that the Chandigarh Police did not receive any complaint of noise pollution from marriage palaces after 10 pm. It stated that the surrounding areas like Kansal and Nayagaon, received 11 complaints within two days.

The high court took notice of the issue on November 21, 2018 in the wake of nuisance created by amplified music from marriage palaces and private farmhouses around Chandigarh. The High court directed to take up this matter as a public interest litigation (PIL) so that the guidelines could be framed to check loud music.

Chandigarh filed its reply on November 26, 2018 while Punjab and Haryana sought time. The matter will next come up on December 12, 2018 for next hearing. The high court has also asked for the status reports of 11 cases reported in surrounding areas by the next date of hearing.
