Step 1: Introduction.
During the festival of Dussehra, people celebrate with great enthusiasm, often bursting crackers and playing loudspeakers. While the celebrations bring joy, they also cause a rise in noise pollution.
Step 2: Observations.
During the Puja, loudspeakers were used at high volume, drums and crackers were burst throughout the day and night. The permissible decibel level was often crossed, disturbing students, elderly people, patients, and infants.
Step 3: Effects.
The effects of noise pollution included sleeplessness, increased stress levels, and difficulty in studying. Hospitals reported patients suffering from headaches and uneasiness. Animals were also badly disturbed by the loud noises.
Step 4: Conclusion and Suggestions.
While celebrations are important, it is equally important to follow rules and maintain peace. People should celebrate in a way that does not harm society. Use of crackers should be limited, and loudspeakers must be switched off after the permitted time.
