Pune Court Convicts Three for Violating Sound Restrictions During Procession
A Pune court convicted three individuals, including the president and vice-president of the Al Madina Young Boys Mandal and a DJ operator, for violating police orders on loud sound systems during a procession on August 26 in Lohianagar. Despite police warnings and notices under the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, the organisers used a DJ system exceeding permissible decibel limits. The case was registered under relevant legal sections, and the convictions follow intensified enforcement against high-decibel sound systems ahead of Ganeshotsav.
