Noise Nuisance
I am tired of arguing with the guys on this issue of making noise for their benefit at the cost of others.
A Mandir around us never shies away from making us better human beings through the loud speakers.
A month back saw two guys in morning around 5.45 AM. They have been coming to the colony for years together one playing a harmonium around his neck and other jhanj singing the glory of Lord Ram. They were about to start when I questioned them, ‘who has given you the right to disturb others early in the morning?’ They replied, ‘early kahan hai, 6 baz raha hai!’ I tried to tell them that there are guys who have just returned from night duty trying to sleep, students who studied till late night and getting well-deserved sleep, mothers who could not sleet till 3 PM as the infant kept crying, guys working late communicating with the US offices till late night and…!’ I was half way when they knew they are wasting their time, turned, started their music and continued.
Around Diwali a hawker kept using loud speaker selling Rangoli for many days together.
Today had heated arguments with a sabjiwala Hawker who was using loud speaker connected to a tape recorder rattling the rates of the vegetables.
Who will control such nuisance?
