Calls to curb noise levels continue to go unheard

Noise levels during festival celebrations in Mumbai continue to raise alarm. According to data from the Awaaz Foundation, led by environmental activist Sumaira Abdulali, noise levels during the Eid-e-Milad processions on September 18 reached a maximum of 101dB.

Though lower than previous years, this level still surpasses the permissible limits. During the Ganpati Visarjan on September 17, noise levels soared to 115dB.

The data paints a clear picture of how these celebrations, while culturally important, are contributing to serious health concerns. Prolonged exposure to high decibel levels poses significant risks.
